Sign-On Statement:

Medicaid works for Pennsylvania. It’s a proven, efficient, and effective program that keeps Pennsylvanians healthy. Three million Pennsylvanians rely on Medicaid for health coverage; of those, 42% are children and 33% are seniors, pregnant, or people with disabilities. Medicaid is a top funder for critical services that communities across Pennsylvania rely on, like mental and behavioral health care, school nurses, substance use disorder treatment, community health centers, rural hospitals, in-home care, and nursing homes. Medicaid is an investment that keeps low-wage workers working, creates local jobs, boosts small businesses, and generates economic growth for Pennsylvania.

Proposals advancing in Congress would make significant cuts or changes to Medicaid that would likely cost Pennsylvania $1-2 billion a year and leave children, seniors, people with disabilities, and working families across Pennsylvania without essential services and lifesaving care. No matter what form these cuts take, they would affect everyone in Pennsylvania – not just those enrolled in Medicaid. Without the funding that Medicaid brings, Pennsylvania will see increased healthcare costs and wait times, new tax burdens, lost jobs and economic opportunities, and sustained pressure on state and local budgets.

Medicaid works for everyone, and we call on the Pennsylvania Congressional Delegation to protect Medicaid and oppose any attempts to weaken it.
