Yesterday, I joined @deluzio.house.gov, @ace-innamorato.bsky.social, and Dr. Paula Jernigan to highlight the crisis we're in related to healthcare. Allowing tax credits to expire that help countless in PA obtain health insurance coverage from Pennie threatens lives. www.wesa.fm/politics-gov...

It's vital that we ensure transparency, human decisions, and protection of privacy when AI is used in healthcare. Today, I joined with Rep. Hogan, @reptarikkhan.bsky.social, Rep. Kosierowski, and @repgregscott.com to introduce HB 1925, bipartisan legislation to regulate the use of AI in healthcare.

In PA we depend on pharmacies to receive vaccines. Now the CDC and Secretary Kennedy are threatening that access. I am proud to introduce today along with @reptarikkhan.bsky.social, Rep. Kosierowski, and @repomara.com HB 1881 that would protect access to vaccines from pharmacists in PA.

I joined @padempolicy.bsky.social to hear testimony from unions, energy companies, utilities, and agriculture on the construction of data centers in PA. This is an important economic opportunity, but we need to make sure that it is done carefully to avoid increased energy costs for consumers.

Today l joined PennEnvironment, PGH Public Schools, the PA Solar Center, and @repsteele.com to discuss a new report showing the potential for savings by installing solar at our schools.

Pittsburgh and our region are defined by the Three Rivers. Today, I joined @repemilykinkead.com‬, Rep. Goughnour, and the @padempolicy.bsky.social to discuss waterfront development and how best we can leverage tax credits and state policies to get the most value out of our rivers across PA.

In PA we depend on pharmacies to receive vaccines. Now the CDC and Sec. RFK Jr. are threatening that access just as the respiratory virus season begins.

Great week door knocking in Emsworth & Kilbuck. My neighbors & I spoke about the anti-science, anti-vaccine attacks from President Trump & H.H.S. Secretary Kennedy. This is endangering all of us. As our only physician-legislator, I have a special obligation to act. My statement below on next steps:

President Trump brags about the Big Ugly Bill & Tariffs. They are reducing the income & resources of all but the richest Americans. The poorest will see $2700 less/yr in income & 7% less/yr household resources. We must end these Robin Hood-in-Reverse policies. budgetlab.yale.edu/research/com...

Today, President Trump’s ill-conceived and unconstitutional tariffs go into effect. This is a tax on all Pennsylvanians, especially the poor, senior citizens, and those living paycheck-to-paycheck. While we have an affordability crisis, this policy is bad for your family and must be reversed.

State Representative Arvind Venkat, MD @repvenkat.com · 03/08/2025

My Emsworth neighbors tell it straight - why is there no state budget? @pahousedems.com & I have passed a budget that funds our schools, provides tax relief, protects Medicaid, and preserves public transit. We’ve done our job. @pasenategop.bsky.social, time to pass the budget. My statement below:

052

State Representative Arvind Venkat, MD @repvenkat.com · 01/08/2025

Inevitably Orwellian - Don’t like the facts, fire the messenger. Facts, like our deteriorating economy, are stubborn things. President Trump does not get “Alternative Facts.” All Americans need to raise their voices and vote in every election starting this year to end this craziness.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is already having a profound impact on the delivery of healthcare in PA. Proud to partner with Rep. Hogan, Rep. Khan, Rep. Kosierowski, and Rep. Scott to propose bipartisan legislation on creating a regulatory framework for the use of AI in Healthcare.

I love door knocking because I learn what really matters to my constituents - making life more affordable. My colleagues & I have passed good policies, but we face headwinds from DC and Harrisburg. My neighbors in Ohio Twp. and Emsworth shared what’s at stake and why I’ll always fight for them. 👇

John Lewis embodied how a generation could say, “Enough” – to segregation, disenfranchisement, and not living up to our ideals.

We have passed a spending plan for the state budget through the State House. The plan is reasonable when coupled with previously passed enabling legislation on education, healthcare, transportation, cannabis, taxes & the minimum wage. There is no final deal & work to do.

As an ER Doc, I have seen patients die due to medical debt. The reconciliation bill ended premium tax credits. 200k Pennsylvanians will lose insurance & fall into medical debt. They will also suffer from medical debt reporting to credit agencies. My statement below: www.reuters.com/legal/litiga...
