Pennsylvania Medicaid Changes Threaten Hundreds of Thousands | Pittsburgh News

from Pittsburgh News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Starting January 1, Pennsylvania’s Medicaid program faces sweeping changes that could strip hundreds of thousands from coverage—thanks to new federal rules mandating biannual renewals and strict work or activity proof. With systems scrambling and caseworker shortages looming, many vulnerable residents—families, seniors, children, disabled individuals—risk falling through the cracks. Advocates warn this isn’t about fraud but about real people losing access to care amid bureaucratic chaos, even as the state rushes to patch a system ill-prepared for the deadline.
