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.

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.

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.
