President Trump’s emerging plan to block grant Medicaid is a blatant broken promise that will adversely impact seniors, children, those with disabilities and those who are low income. This radical approach will also harm rural Pennsylvanians by ending coverage and threatening to shutter rural hospitals. Some of these communities only have one hospital and the cuts that would occur with block granting would cripple those hospitals. In addition to the loss of health care services, block granting Medicaid will cause substantial job loss for middle class families, large numbers of whom work at hospitals. Block granting Medicaid is just a cute phrase for $1 trillion in cuts that will result in less nursing home care for seniors and less health care coverage for the struggling and those with disabilities. As the President moves towards this scheme to strip benefits from seniors and the vulnerable he is also proposing massive tax cuts for millionaires, billionaires and big corporations; let’s end the giveaways to the very rich and use those resources to help our seniors instead of cutting their benefits. #Medicaid
