THEN STOP CUTTING PEOPLE OFF MEDICAID?!?! MAKE HEALTHCARE A HUMAN RIGHT????
I am done letting private equity treat Pennsylvania hospitals like a piggybank they can empty out and smash on the floor.
As a Commonwealth, it’s time for us to reform the way private equity has infected our health care system.
Send a bill to my desk requiring pre-transaction notifications for all sales, mergers, acquisitions, and bankruptcy claims by empowering the Office of the Attorney General to review these intentions carefully, comprehensively, and with the community’s best interest at the forefront.
We won’t allow billionaires and the ruling class to divide and conquer us! We organize across all lines of division and we will love our neighbors!
We are the swing vote! Hear from Rabbi Michael Pollack about why he’s mobilizing poor and low-wage voters in Pennsylvania. Visit our website to learn how you can join mobilization!

The numbers don’t lie.
806 billionaires are richer than the poorer half of the U.S. population (over 165 million people) combined—a lot richer.
This system is eroding democracy, ramping up homelessness, and hurting billions.

"There will be no democracy worth saving if it doesn't lift the lives of poor and low-wage people all over this world.”
"We don't care what kind of debate you have if you don't have a debate that asks candidates where they stand on living wages and labor and healthcare," said @RevDrBarber of @unitethepoor. commondreams.org/news/poor-p…
Poverty is the fourth leading cause of death in America and they’re talking about GOLF?!?!?!? #debate

In Pennsylvania bribery is legal. What does this mean? Corporations can gift anything to legislators in our state. They use this power to bribe legislators for legislation that keeps them rich and in power. This corporations over people approach is why we are in a poverty crisis. – at Pennsylvania, USA
