Rep. Fitzpatrick may have voted “no” on the final HR1 – which made devastating cuts & changes to Medicaid and the ACA – but he was the one vote that helped the original bill pass. He serves as co-chair of the Problem Solvers Caucus and a member of the House Ways and Means Health Subcommittee. (2/3)

Mary and her husband live in Bucks County, and they hoped to be retired, but he just had to take on a part time job - and it’s still getting harder and harder to make ends meet. Health insurance premiums are doubling, and other costs keep going up too! (1/3)

Prices are too high, wages are too low, health care costs are skyrocketing, and Americans are getting squeezed from every angle. Last week, we joined Mondays Without McCormick in Scranton, PA to put the pressure on Sen. McCormick and Rep. Bresnahan to take action on the #AffordabilityCrisis!

Last week, we brought community together in Pittsburgh’s Hill District for a nonpartisan election protection training with @popdemoc.bsky.social! Attendees left better prepared to protect voting rights, fortified with reliable information and deeper connections with neighbors 💪
About 2 dozen people sit in a classroom-style room, with an instructor at front. The majority are people of color, and most are facing the instructor, watching a presentation.

The Working Pennsylvanians Tax Credit (WPTC) is a newer program that puts money back in the pockets of the people who need that support the most. This state tax credit is set at 10% of the federal EITC, so the max that a household in PA can get is $805. Which is impactful, but we could do better!

Lehigh Valley & Poconos: Rep. Mackenzie Voted for Health Care Cuts. Tell Him to Fix the Damage.
Rep. Ryan Mackenzie voted YES twice on H.R. 1 — including the final bill that put sweeping Medicaid cuts into law. Now families across PA-07 are paying the price. Thousands of PA-07 residents could lose Medicaid coverage. Local hospitals face growing financial pressure. And families buying coverage through Pennie are already being hit with dramatically higher costs. According to Pennie data, average monthly premiums increased by $330 in Lehigh County, $317 in Northampton County, and $303 in Carbon County. Mackenzie had two opportunities to oppose H.R. 1’s harmful health care provisions. He voted YES both times. PA-07 families need him to help fix the damage: reverse the harmful Medicaid cuts he voted for, restore affordable health coverage, and protect our hospitals and health care providers. Tell Rep.
