Working People Demand Healthcare for All, Not Medicaid Cuts

Rather than guaranteeing healthcare, some of our elected leaders wish to put patients and healthcare workers further at the mercy of massive healthcare corporations by cutting and privatizing Medicaid and other essential services.

As Pennsylvania nurses and healthcare workers, we stand with our patients who receive lifesaving care because of Medicaid funding – whether it’s people who rely on rural hospitals, mothers who cannot afford to pay thousands of dollars to give birth, or anyone else who needs to receive care.

We demand that our elected leaders guarantee healthcare for all, rather than cutting the limited healthcare coverage available to Americans.

TAKE ACTION HERE



Pass safe staffing in Pennsylvania hospitals

After risking their lives during the COVID pandemic, nurses have united around the Patient Safety Act (HB 106 / Senate Bill 240), which requires safe staffing in PA hospitals. Add your name in support of these house and senate bills which will improve patient care, save lives, and protect workers in every hospital in our state.
