The need for accessible healthcare is bigger than ever before, but for more than 50 free healthcare clinics across PA, the new federal administration is bringing more questions than answers as we approach 2025.
A new, upgraded space for Beacon Clinic is just what the doctor ordered as Executive Director Deb McClain says the clinic saw a 35% increase of new patients year to year."This past month it's the highest number we've had in a 12-month period," explains Reverend Matthew Best. "Right now the federal government is providing subsidies that enable people to access insurance at a lower cost. If those go away, we know that those who are able to afford healthcare may no longer be able to afford it," says Rapp.Economic Policy Institute"And not only losing their health insurance, if they repeal Obamacare, one of the biggest gifts that Obamacare gave was removal of pre-existing conditions," McClain adds.
Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson has said the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, needs massive reform.
