RFK Jr. Pressed to Reevaluate Pennsylvania’s Medicaid Expansion
(The Center Square) — Pennsylvania will need to spend $2 billion over the next five years to cover its expanded Medicaid program. And while lawmakers are worried about finding the money to foot the bill, the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services insists that doing so will lower costs in the long run. Senate Republicans are not yet convinced and hope the new Trump administration will agree to reevaluate the state’s waiver, approved just weeks before President Joe Biden stepped aside, amid the governor’s request for a $1.9 billion single-year increase in the Department of Human Services budget.
