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.

Message from Pennsylvania Health Access Network (PHAN): 

Last night, the House Budget Committee advanced its Budget Reconciliation bill that would terminate healthcare for over half a million Pennsylvanians who get their health coverage through Medicaid and the marketplace and double health insurance premiums for many more. 

Next, the bill is scheduled for a vote in the Rules Committee on Wednesday night and a possible floor vote on Thursday.

Now is the time to take action. Please contact members of the House of Representatives this week and let them know that your organization opposes the bill. It is particularly important to contact Representatives Fitzpatrick, Bresnahan, and Mackenzie. Let us know how your conversation went by emailing Bill England.
