Private equity in healthcare is not an abstraction. It is the reason nursing homes close. The reason hospitals cut staff. The reason patients suffer. That's why I support legislation that fights the outsized presence of private equity in PA health systems. Patients first. Always. buff.ly/3Iao4oH

Collett Announces Legislation to Cut Healthcare Costs, Improve Access to Care

Harrisburg, Pa. − April 9, 2026 − Senator Maria Collett (D-12 Montgomery, Caucus Chair) has announced a new slate of legislation to address rising healthcare costs in Pennsylvania. With skyrocketing…

When we invest in nurses, mental health professionals, and healthcare workers, we're investing in every Pennsylvanian who will ever need care. That's everyone. Every single one of us. Let's fund our healthcare workforce like we mean it.

SB 906 passed committee 9 to 2 with Republican votes. That is still the closest Pennsylvania has ever come to paid family leave. It has been waiting for a floor vote since June. Its time to bring it up. Let the voters see where you stand.

Nursing home reimbursement moved to 86 cents on the dollar this year. That money has to reach the bedside, not a private equity return. That is exactly what my nursing home reform bill enforces, and why I keep pushing it.

Reproductive freedom is healthcare. There is not enough space in the exam room for you, your clinician, and a politician. I know that as a nurse. I vote like that as a legislator.

A tariff is a tax we pay. It is collected at the border and it shows up in our cart. I will keep saying it until the people who imposed it stop pretending otherwise.

Maria Collett for PA State Senate @mariaforpasenate.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Thirty days of September, and the pattern held the whole way through. Wages, leave, transit, your energy bill, all still stuck behind the same Senate Republican majority making the same choice it has made for years. Let's knock doors, make calls, and vote for the change Pennsylvania deserves.

000

Maria Collett for PA State Senate @mariaforpasenate.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Your grocery bill and your energy bill are still too high. Both are still policy choices that Senate Republicans won't move on anything that will help you. We can choose a better path together this November.

Copay reform is written and ready to move. What your insurance charges you for a medication should not change without warning halfway through the year. I wrote this bill after hearing the same story too many times from people managing chronic conditions on a fixed income. buff.ly/Z7iTokb

September covered a lot. Session back in gear, four new candidates introduced, the same fights on wages, leave, and your energy bill still not resolved. I would rather end a month with an honest list than a tidy one. October picks up right where this leaves off.

Last week of September. Five weeks out from November 3rd. I have said this before and I will keep saying it: Pennsylvania is closer to a wage you can live on, leave when your family needs you, and a Senate that works for you than it has been in years. Closer is not there yet. Let's do this together.

Four Democrats. Four Senate districts. Eileen Hartnett Albillar in Bucks. Chris Thomas in Montco and Berks. Brian Wrightson in NEPA. Mark Pinsley in the Lehigh Valley. Win those seats, and Pennsylvania has its best shot in decades at a Senate that delivers for you. buff.ly/7pK0RH3

Child care in this county can run more than a mortgage payment. We put another $5 million into keeping providers on the job this year, $30 million in total. Parents need considerably more than that, and I am going back for it.

Senate Rs kept transit funding out of the budget again, and riders are not an abstraction to me or to Eileen Hartnett Albillar, who has made SEPTA funding central to her Bucks County campaign. Every year this gets punted, somebody's commute and district get ignored longer. buff.ly/B2FJtnt

Nursing home reimbursements now have a floor of 86 cents on the dollar. My bill makes sure that money reaches the bedside and not a private equity investor. Funding a fix is only half the job. Enforcing it is the other half, and that's the part I'm still committed to passing. buff.ly/cbJsHSJ

The Senate returns Monday and the wage is still $7.25. That is not a summer story anymore, it is a fall story, and it stays the story until Senate Republicans decide otherwise. Pennsylvanians paying rent on minimum wage should not get to wait for a better mood in Harrisburg.

Six weeks until Election Day. If you are not registered, Pennsylvania's deadline is October 19. It takes about two minutes online and is the most direct way to decide whether Harrisburg keeps stalling or finally moves. Do it now, then send this to one person. buff.ly/CbaEbJ0

Heading back into session next week, I keep coming back to the same math. Twenty three Democrats in the Senate right now. Four more seats in play this fall. That is the difference between asking Republican leadership to schedule a vote and simply scheduling it ourselves.

000

Maria Collett for PA State Senate @mariaforpasenate.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

The Senate returns to session next week and I am bringing the same list I carried out of August. Paid leave needs a floor vote. The wage needs to move. Your energy bill needs a guardrail. None of it got easier over the summer. None of it is off my desk either.

000

Maria Collett for PA State Senate @mariaforpasenate.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

If you are not registered to vote, or you know someone who is not, this is the week to fix that. Pennsylvania's registration deadline is October 19. The wage, reproductive freedom, your energy bill, all of it comes down to who is in the room when the votes happen. buff.ly/CbaEbJ0

Someone asked me this week if the four Senate races feel like a lot to carry on top of my own. Honestly, they feel like the same fight in four more places. Every candidate is running because their district is tired of waiting too. That is the whole point of a majority.

Reproductive freedom is healthcare. There is not enough room in an exam room for a patient, a clinician, and a politician. I knew that as a nurse before I ever ran for office, and I vote that way as a Senator every single session. That has not changed and it is not going to.

Large data centers in Pennsylvania now have to report their energy and water use every year or pay $10,000 a day. Good first step. Still no limit on the tax break, and still nothing that keeps a hyperscale facility's power demand off your bill. Senate Rs let it sit. buff.ly/BcgxRLA
