Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon, who represents Pennsylvania’s 5th district in the U.S. Congress, recently used her social media platform to voice concerns about proposed changes to federal healthcare policy and their potential impact on her constituents.
On October 9, 2025, Scanlon posted, “Americans shouldn’t have to choose between having healthcare and putting food on the table. But if Republicans refuse to extend the ACA tax credits and cancel the Medicaid cuts Millions of American will be forced to make that choice.”
Later that day, she added, “The only thing Republicans in DC are interested in saving is tax cuts for their Billionaire Buddies. And they did that by GUTTING the healthcare system millions of Americans rely on.”
Scanlon also highlighted a local impact in a post at 20:16 UTC: “The largest healthcare system in my district recently went bankrupt, leaving thousands of my Delco constituents scrambling for care. Republicans in Congress are pushing for policies that would worsen this crisis so that they can give tax cuts to their billionaire buddies.”
Mary Gay Scanlon has represented Pennsylvania’s 5th District since 2018, succeeding Pat Meehan after his resignation. Born in Watertown, New York, in 1959, Scanlon resides in Swarthmore and holds degrees from Colgate University and the University of Pennsylvania.
