Some people thought our last email was a little harsh. So, in the spirit of Valentine's Day, here's another try.
Tom Corbett Loves Puppies, But 4 People Still Died Today Because He Won't Allow Medicaid Expansion
That’s according to a new study by researchers at the Harvard Medical School and the City University of New York.
The study says that Tom Corbett’s refusal to expand Medicaid coverage under the Affordable Care Act will result in 1,491 deaths this year.
Why is Corbett turning down federal funding for Medicaid expansion? Because he is playing politics over Obamacare in an election year. He wants to turn Medicaid over to his corporate insurance friends and impose illegal restrictions on who can be covered.
Every day Corbett delays the expansion of Medicaid in Pennsylvania 4 more people will die.
Expanded Medicaid coverage will not only prevent deaths, it will increase employment in Pennsylvania. A Families USA study showed that expanded coverage will result in over 40,000 new jobs in PA.
Tom Corbett may love puppies, but it’s time for him to stop playing politics with our lives.
Tell Tom Corbett: Expand Medicaid now without any gimmicks or conditions.
