Governor Wolf Renews the Opioid Disaster Declaration for the Sixth Time to Combat PA’s Opioid Crisis
Sen. Costa Response to UPMC Ruling in Commonwealth Court
I am disappointed to see UPMC prevail in today’s ruling from the Commonwealth Court. Their unwillingness to prioritize patient care ahead of their profit margin cannot go on. If we don’t have a solution to the contract dispute by Junio 30, many folks in Western Pennsylvania will be thrown into health care chaos.
I’ll continue my work on the legislative solution, and I hope that AG Shapiro immediately begins work on an appeal of this decision to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
