Pennsylvania Just Triggered a 50-Year-Old Law to Keep Jefferson Health In-Network

The Jefferson Health insurance fight got a new development this week — and a new deadline that matters more than the one everyone is watching. Pennsylvania’s insurance department announced it will invoke Act 94, a 1975 consumer protection law, if Independence Blue Cross and Highmark don’t reach new contracts with Jefferson Health by December 31. The law gives the state power to freeze a termination for up to six months and force the parties into a formal process. It has only been used twice in its entire history. — Pennsylvania Insurance Department (Philadelphia Inquirer, November 6, 2026)

PA high schools do not need a phone ban

Pennsylvania’s statewide phone ban is claimed to help reduce student distraction and help students improve their grades. Many adults believe phones interfere with learning, but phones don’t solve the full issue. Lawmakers are focusing on the wrong problem or purposefully blaming phones as an easy way out so it looks like they’re doing something. All they are doing is putting band-aids on bullet holes. It might cover the issues, but it doesn’t repair the damage left underneath.

It is the first time all three branches in Harrisburg have been blue at once since the first year of Bill Clinton's presidency.

Penn State Expecting $124M Budget Shortfall

Penn State officials said on Monday that they are taking steps, including a series of targeted budget reductions, to address an expected shortfall of $124 million for the current fiscal year. The shortfall in the university's $2.2 billion education and general budget, which funds core academic programs, instruction and research, is the result of what Penn State says are financial pressures facing colleges nationwide, including overall enrollment declines and rising health insurance costs. Penn State reported its largest ever undergraduate enrollment this fall at the University Park campus, where it welcomed a record-high first-year class of 9,907 as it works toward a previously announced goal of 10,000 for incoming freshman classes. But overall, the university saw a total enrollment decrease across all campuses of 3,058, with half of that decline at the seven Commonwealth Campuses slated for closure after the spring semester. While that decrease at the closing campuses was anticipated, Penn State says that due to the timing of the university's two-year budgeting process, the impacts of the enrollment declines "were not included in the original modeling for the FY 2026-27 budget." Graduate student enrollment also decreases by 742, international student enrollment by 922 and out-of-state student enrollment by
