THEN STOP CUTTING PEOPLE OFF MEDICAID?!?! MAKE HEALTHCARE A HUMAN RIGHT????
I am done letting private equity treat Pennsylvania hospitals like a piggybank they can empty out and smash on the floor.
As a Commonwealth, it’s time for us to reform the way private equity has infected our health care system.
Send a bill to my desk requiring pre-transaction notifications for all sales, mergers, acquisitions, and bankruptcy claims by empowering the Office of the Attorney General to review these intentions carefully, comprehensively, and with the community’s best interest at the forefront.
We won’t allow billionaires and the ruling class to divide and conquer us! We organize across all lines of division and we will love our neighbors!
We are the swing vote! Hear from Rabbi Michael Pollack about why he’s mobilizing poor and low-wage voters in Pennsylvania. Visit our website to learn how you can join mobilization!

The numbers don’t lie.
806 billionaires are richer than the poorer half of the U.S. population (over 165 million people) combined—a lot richer.
This system is eroding democracy, ramping up homelessness, and hurting billions.

Good to talk with @BrianLehrer about WHITE POVERTY & the moral fusion movement we need to overcome the cynical division that pits so many of us against one another. wnyc.org/shows/bl/segmentsan…

Too often when we think about poverty, we buy into the idea of the Black mother on welfare.
But with that picture we dismiss tens of millions of white people living in poverty, and that never allows us to deal with the issue in its fullness.
This means it's a constant threat to our democracy.
