States are asking for a 2-year delay, to improve admin systems and prepare before facing substantial new costs. The Senate Ag. Committee passed a Farm Bill proposal with only a one-year delay + higher future costs for states. Temporary relief should not come at the expense of SNAP’s future. (2/3)

Despite surging profits, revenue from the corporate income tax, which applies to the profits made by the largest companies in the country, fell roughly 15% in the last fiscal year, following the Republican-backed tax breaks for big corporations: www.nytimes.com/2026/10/17/b...

Having to go without your medication because the price is too high can really take a toll on your body, something Geri from Central PA knows all too well. And that’s something more and more people are facing as health care prices – and the prices of so many daily essentials – continue to rise.

And when lawmakers cut funding and add barriers to programs that are meant to help people, it not only impacts people’s ability to access them, but also erodes their faith in those programs. We’re in an affordability crisis, the “Big Beautiful Bill” is only making things worse!

Rep. Scott Perry voted YES to slash funding for essential, lifesaving programs and NO to extending tax credits that reduced the cost of Pennie insurance plans. Tell Rep. Perry: reverse the damage caused by your votes and make health coverage more affordable:

Rep. Scott Perry voted YES twice on H.R. 1, enacting devastating Medicaid changes. Then, he voted NO on legislation that would have extended ACA tax credits – which make Pennie plans more affordable – through 2028. (1/2)

actionnetwork.orgRep. Scott Perry voted FOR cutting health care and AGAINST extending the ACA tax credits that lowered insurance costs. Tell him: We need you to change course and deliver on affordable health care for your constituents.Rep. Scott Perry voted YES twice on H.R. 1 — including the final bill that enacted major Medicaid changes. Then, after the enhanced premium tax credits expired, Perry voted NO on H.R. 1834, legislation that would have extended the enhanced premium tax credits through 2028. Now, the Commonwealth estimates that 18,720 people in PA-10 could lose Medicaid coverage as the federal law is implemented. PA-10 families are already feeling the health care affordability squeeze. At the start of 2026 Open Enrollment, 28,634 PA-10 residents had Pennie coverage. By March 24, 7,452 had terminated coverage — 26% of the district’s starting enrollment, compared with 25% statewide. Families buying coverage through Pennie are paying more, too. According to Pennie data, average monthly premium costs per enrollee increased by: - $225 in Cumberland County - $207 in Dauphin County - $228 in York County And PHAN estimates hospitals serving PA-10 could face approximately $44 million more in uncompensated care each year. Tell Rep. Perry: PA-10 families are already paying the price. Help reverse the Medicaid cuts and make health coverage more affordable.

Rep. Bresnahan voted to gut essential, lifesaving programs – in order to pay for tax giveaways for big corporations and billionaires. Now, 21.6k people in his district could lose Medicaid coverage, while local hospitals face growing financial pressure. (1/2)

Rep. Mackenzie voted YES on H.R.1, which paired devastating Medicaid funding cuts with tax giveaways for big corporations and billionaires. Now we're paying the price. Tell Rep. Mackenzie: Help fix the damage caused by your votes and deliver affordable health care

actionnetwork.orgLehigh Valley & Poconos: Rep. Mackenzie Voted for Health Care Cuts. Tell Him to Fix the Damage.Rep. Ryan Mackenzie voted YES twice on H.R. 1 — including the final bill that put sweeping Medicaid cuts into law. Now families across PA-07 are paying the price. Thousands of PA-07 residents could lose Medicaid coverage. Local hospitals face growing financial pressure. And families buying coverage through Pennie are already being hit with dramatically higher costs. According to Pennie data, average monthly premiums increased by $330 in Lehigh County, $317 in Northampton County, and $303 in Carbon County. Mackenzie had two opportunities to oppose H.R. 1’s harmful health care provisions. He voted YES both times. PA-07 families need him to help fix the damage: reverse the harmful Medicaid cuts he voted for, restore affordable health coverage, and protect our hospitals and health care providers. Tell Rep. Mackenzie: PA-07 families are already paying the price. Help fix the damage and deliver affordable health care.
