Want to reduce poverty? Support Medicaid work requirements. New report from HHS estimates that this policy will lift 1.6 to 2.9 million Americans out of poverty. https://t.co/m170JHdJ9w
"Progressives often overlook a simple truth: when govt overreaches — even with good intentions — it undermines prosperity, limits opportunity, and diminishes the dignity that comes from meaningful work." https://t.co/KaeNSKgR5R via @PittsburghPG
Fraud by design? The feds deferred Medicaid payments to CA over fraud concerns. PA has more Medicaid fraud convictions than any state in the nation. Are we next?
.@DrOzCMS asked the right question: “is it really a flaw that we have this much fraud in health care? or is it a feature?”

Here in Pennsylvania, we work every day to bring people together and Get Shit Done to move our Commonwealth forward.
Whether it’s cutting taxes seven times in my first term, delivering historic funding for our public schools, creating over 22,000 new jobs, or funding law enforcement all across Pennsylvania, I’m proud to be a GSD Governor — but our work isn't done yet.
"Elizabeth Stelle, Vice President of Policy at the Commonwealth Foundation argued that the state is heading in the wrong direction on energy policy, saying Pennsylvania should instead focus on lowering utility bills, which she claims are being driven higher by mandates supporting solar and wind energy development." https://t.co/REE8dobz6u
Let international doctors practice in Pa.| "capable physicians remain sidelined while patients wait longer and longer for care. . . " https://t.co/YeQWWZqYNp via @phillyinquirer@NiskanenCenter
