What does Medicaid mean to you?

Sen. Toomey is a member of a group of senators who want to sharply curtail Medicaid. Under the House bill (the American Health Care Act) more than 350,000 Pennsylvanians could lose their Medicaid health coverage, according to the non-partisan Office of Management and Budget. How could Sen. Toomey support that?

Please, if you or your loved ones are dependent on Medicaid for your health care, email and tell Sen. Toomey what loss of this coverage would mean to you. Email Sen. Toomey’s chief of staff : daniel_brant@toomey.senate. gov.

It will only take a second and it might save your life.

Dr. Richard H. Dixon, Bellefonte
