Pa. Republicans urge Trump to cancel Medicaid expansions
Pennsylvania Senate Republicans are urging the Trump administration to cancel Medicaid waivers that expand services for low-income families, children, and the homeless. They argue these changes will increase the state's Medicaid costs. The waivers were approved last year under the Biden administration. The request to rescind them is part of a larger political struggle between state Republicans and Democratic Governor Josh Shapiro over budget issues. This debate also reflects Trump's broader agenda to reduce federal government size. The situation highlights ongoing tensions in Pennsylvania's political landscape regarding social services and fiscal management.
