Last week, instead of lowering costs, Scott Perry jeopardized health care coverage by voting with his extreme party bosses for House Republicans’ cruel budget blueprint.
PennLive did a deep dive into how Perry’s dangerous vote risks health care coverage and food assistance for tens of thousands of people in PA-10.
But that’s not all: as vulnerable House Republicans like Perry face heat back home over the GOP’s agenda, the NRCC is doling out advice to “stop holding in-person town halls amid a wave of angry backlash.”
DCCC Spokesperson Ellie Dougherty:
“Central Pennsylvanians are growing increasingly fed up with Scott Perry constantly siding with extreme party bosses who are taking a hatchet to critical programs like Medicaid and telling Perry to ignore his constituents along the way. With each passing day, Perry’s extremist loyalties will prove perilous for him come next November.”

PennLive: Pa. GOP House members vote for measure that could cut Medicaid, threaten care for constituents
J.D. Prose | February 28, 2025
KEY POINTS:
-
Pennsylvania faces billions in Medicaid and other health funding cuts, which could force tens of thousands out of programs, under a budget resolution approved by Congressional Republicans, according to opposition groups.
-
In Rep. Scott Perry’s 10th Congressional District, there are 146,666 constituents covered by Medicaid or CHIP, the Children’s Health Insurance Program, said the PA Accountability Hub.
-
The potential loss from cuts could total $1.84 billion in Perry’s district alone and put 39,000 people in danger of losing coverage, the Hub said. All of Pennsylvania’s GOP House members voted for the budget resolution on Tuesday.
