After mounting pressure from constituents, the discharge petition for a 3-year extension of ACA health care tax credits will move forward with Rep. Ryan Mackenzie & Rep. Rob Bresnahan's signatures. We are calling on them to vote YES to prevent skyrocketing health care costs for Pennsylvanians.

📆 Last Saturday, we celebrated the 90th anniversary of Social Security in Wilkes Barre urging our members of Congress to safeguard one of their most vital sources of income for families. Cuts would impact seniors who worked all their life, disabled people, and children of Social Security parents.

Republican Congressman Bresnahan recently sold his stock in Centene, a Medicaid health care provider. The stock has now fallen 43% since his sale.
His sale seemingly coincides with his vote to advance Trump's budget bill that will kick 17 million Americans off their health care.
