Congressman Dwight Evans, who represents Pennsylvania’s 3rd district in the U.S. Congress, expressed concerns on August 7, 2025, regarding the impact of a new budget law backed by former President Trump and congressional Republicans.
In a post made at 19:21 UTC, Evans stated, “Promises made. Promises broken. And it’s hard-working Americans who will pay the price.”
One hour later, he elaborated on his concerns about healthcare coverage in Pennsylvania. He wrote, “Under Trump & congressional Republicans’ new budget law, more than 300,000 Pennsylvanians will lose their health care coverage. If you get coverage through Geisinger Health Plan, Keystone First, or another state-funded managed care organization, these cuts could impact you.” He followed this message with a link for further information: “Learn more here: https://t.co/ouiie9VKb8”

Born in Philadelphia in 1954 and a graduate of La Salle University (1975), Evans continues to reside in Philadelphia while representing his constituents at the federal level.
