Pennsylvania Hit Hard by Medicaid Mandate
The Commonwealth Foundation says that 39 states, including Pennsylvania, could be hard hit by a Medicaid mandate from Congress.
“Pennsylvania will be the second hardest hit state, behind only Texas, with an estimated $1.5 billion in additional spending. Increased taxes due to the increase in Medicaid eligibility could lead to states going bankrupt.”
In addition, Pennsylvania residents would suffer from increased federal obligations as well as higher private-insurance premiums.
