GOP Saves Health Care For Needy — State Rep. Ryan Aument (R-41) has tweeted that “Medicaid Expansion effort in the PA House fails by a 108-94 vote. A major win for Pennsylvania taxpayers.”
The plan as approved in the state Senate was to expand Medicaid to low-income workers without considering how the expansion would be funded in the long term or expanding the existing number of doctors much less those willing to accept Medicaid patients. This would have meant that those now eligible for the program would have had to fight with the newcomers for attention from the existing pool of doctors willing to treat them.
