Judge aims to speed UPMC Highmark split ruling
In Harrisburg a state judge signaled a June 14 deadline to interpret a 2014 consent decree on the UPMC Highmark break. If the July 1 termination holds, Highmark insurance customers face higher costs for in-network care across UPMC’s hospitals and providers. The attorney general seeks to extend the decree indefinitely, arguing UPMC’s charity status imposes public obligations. The judge set a tight schedule with hearings June 11-12 and potential Supreme Court involvement.

Dollar General case adds Kosciuszko parties in Laurene County
PennTex Ventures seeks to add William and Deborah Kosciuszko to the declaratory judgment suit against Mayor Anthony Mastrangelo over a planned Dollar General at 1102 Highland Ave. Judge John W. Hodge oversees the case as attorneys for the mayor and council face a 20 day response window. The council previously approved zoning changes in a 3 2 vote and no longer opposes the project.
