🚨190K Pennsylvanians have dropped PENNIE after the tax credit premiums were not renewed for the ACA. That’s almost 200,000 who are going without health insurance. Absolutely despicable and unacceptable. A huge number, but sadly, the Medicaid cuts in 2027 are going to see larger numbers & deadlier.💔
