Mastriano’s Nomination and PA’s Healthcare Struggles | Pittsburgh News
Description
Doug Mastriano, the controversial Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate known for spreading debunked election claims, just got a surprising boost from Trump—now nominated as ambassador to Slovakia, with his nomination moving through the Senate. Meanwhile, Pennsylvania lawmakers are pushing to help struggling pharmacies by forcing PBMs to pay pharmacists more, potentially reshaping local healthcare access. But Pennsylvanians are growing increasingly frustrated with healthcare costs, with over a quarter reporting difficulty getting care due to price. The state’s Supreme Court just handed down a landmark ruling striking down mandatory life-without-parole sentences for felony murder, potentially triggering the largest resentencing effort in state history. And on the economic front, Pennsylvania’s unemployment dipped and nonfarm jobs hit an all-time high—offering a glimmer of hope amid ongoing policy battles.
