Sen. Hughes Lauds Medicaid Report
The Pennsylvania Economy League study on Medicaid expansion reinforces Senate Democratic arguments about the benefits of expansion, avers State Sen. Vincent J. Hughes (D-W. Phila.). Gov. Tom Corbett has to decide whether Pennsylvania will join a host of other states – many led by Republican governors – that have agreed to expand Medicaid to serve individuals earning up to 138% of the federal poverty level. Hughes, who is the Democratic chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, charged, “The evidence becomes clearer as one study after another details significant benefit for Pennsylvania citizens, our economy and all taxpayers if the governor would stop waffling and accept the expansion of Medicaid.”

State Rep. Louise Williams Bishop (D-W. Phila.) said the State House has approved legislation that would help professional licensees and operators and employees of regulated child care facilities to recognize and report child abuse. “These measures ultimately protect children. They give adults who regularly interact with children the tools needed to recognize the signs of abuse and informs them of the proper way to report such occurrences,” said Bishop, Democratic chairwoman of the House Children and Youth Committee. HB 431 would require professional licensees who are mandated reporters of child abuse to undergo child abuse recognition and reporting training as a condition of licensing and certification. HB 432 would require child day-care facility operators and employees who come in contact with children to receive three hours of child-abuse recognition and reporting training every five years.
