GOP governors in 25 states, including Alabama, have written to President Joe Biden, asking the White House to end the federal Public Health Emergency issued in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
In a letter to the president, Gov. Kay Ivey and other state chief executives cited increasing Medicaid costs due to expanded eligible populations as reasoning for ending the PHE.
“While the virus will be with us for some time, the emergency phase of the pandemic is behind us,” the letter reads. “We have come so far since the beginning of the pandemic - we now have the tools and information necessary to help protect our communities from COVID-19.”
