8,000 Pennsylvania immigrants to lose Medicaid coverage on Oct. 1
Original: About 8,000 lawfully present Pennsylvania immigrants face Medicaid health insurance terminations on Oct. 1
About 8,000 lawfully present immigrants in Pennsylvania are set to lose their Medicaid health insurance on October 1. The terminations will affect people who are in the United States legally but do not meet federal eligibility rules for the program. Coverage loss will likely force many to seek alternative insurance or go without care, and the change has drawn attention from health advocates and immigration groups in the state.
Why now: New federal eligibility rules taking effect October 1 are terminating Medicaid coverage for lawfully present immigrants, raising immediate health care access concerns.
