The PA Universal Healthcare Act would ensure that all Pennsylvanians and residents of other states who work at least 20 hours per week within our Commonwealth can get comprehensive, high-quality healthcare. My full memo here: www.palegis.us/senate/co-sp...
Senator Saval at a rally where people are holding signs that say Tax Billionaires, Fund Healthcare. He is speaking into a microphone and smiling.

According to AP, the typical pay package for S&P 500 CEOs rose to $17M last year — an increase of 9.7%. At half of the companies surveyed, it would take the median worker 192 years to make what the CEO did in one year.  This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
