RCPA, in its partnership with the PA Health Access Network (PHAN), is asking organizations to consider signing on to their new letter, which opposes cuts to Medicaid and Pennie. The latest proposal in Congress would take healthcare away from 600,000 Pennsylvanians who receive their coverage through Medicaid or Pennie. This is a separate letter than was previously shared with members in February; we ask your organization to join PHAN and show your opposition to potential cuts. This new communication reflects some of the specific areas that will be impacted.

Enter your information to publicly sign on to the letter on behalf of your organization. Please note: this sign-on page is for organizations only. Please contact Bill England with any questions or if you do not want to be listed publicly.

RCPA continues its state and federal advocacy efforts for state mental health funding and preserving Medicaid funding. If you are interested in joining the Mental Health Safety Net Coalition, please contact RCPA Policy Associate Emma Sharp.

Thank you for all you do in working to preserve Pennsylvania’s healthcare.

Congress is making decisions that could deeply harm people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). A proposed budget could slash Medicaid by at least $715 billion, putting essential supports and lives at risk.

These cuts aren’t just numbers on a budget document; they’re a threat to the independence, dignity, and community of those we support.

📣 Take Action Today: Call or email your U.S. Senators and Representative.

Tell them: Reject Medicaid cuts. Protect services for people with I/DD.

Your voice matters. Now more than ever, it must be heard.
