State Sen. Collett Holding Town Hall Over Fed Cuts

EASTERN MONTGOMERY COUNTY, PA —"I think we’re due for another chat about the chaos going on in Washington."

That's the plan for State Sen. Maria Collett, who serves the 12th Senatorial District in Montgomery County.

Collett is holding a telephone Town Hall at 6 p.m. Wednesday to discuss how recent federal actions may impact Pennsylvanians’ access to quality, affordable healthcare.

Collett will be joined by panelists with healthcare and legal expertise:

• Danna Casserly, Co-Executive Director of PA Health Law Project
• Dr. Arina Chesnokova, Physician and Associate Professor

Topics will include proposed cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and CHIP, the slashing of medical research funding, threats to our healthcare infrastructure, and what we can do to fight back.

A panel discussion will be followed by live caller questions.

"Last Friday, Congressional Republicans passed a dangerous budget bill called a continuing resolution, which will in-effect give Donald Trump and Elon Musk more power to direct how budget funds are spent so they can continue to burn down the federal government from the inside," Collett said. "This resolution will make Americans less safe and less healthy by cutting funds for housing, food assistance, election security, the National Institute of Health, and other key programs working families rely on. I hear you, and I'm with you. Here's what I've been doing on the state level to make sure you and your family are supported, and know that my office is always here for you."
