Pennsylvania Stands Up For Healthcare

In our series of community leaders addressing the government shutdown Pennsylvania Stands Up responds to Trump & Congress’s failed attempt to force Democrats to vote to finance fascism & the theft of American taxpayers money on behalf of corporations & billionaires. Carrie Santoro, Pennsylvania Stands Up Executive Director stated, “No blank checks to pay for BS. Working folks are getting squeezed left & right by rising rent, utility bills & health care costs. We do not want our representatives in Congress writing any blank checks that make our lives worse. The proposal on the table doesn’t make anything Pennsylvanians need cheaper. It doesn’t reopen closed hospitals. It doesn’t return the public dollars that were stolen from us. The deal on the table only gives us stuff we don’t want. We do not want our neighbors abducted. We do not want our peers & elders to have their health care stolen from them. We do not want our families with kids to have their food taken away. Pennsylvanians are facing massive SNAP & health care cuts because the Republicans in our congressional delegation voted for the Big Ugly Budget so their billionaire donor, Jeffrey Yass, could get another tax cut, another mansion & another yacht. Pennsylvanians know that’s not right. We’re organizing in Harrisburg to fight cuts to funding for housing, health care, transit & education. Congress & Trump need to cancel the cuts, lower costs & save our health care.” Pennsylvania Stands Up believes everyone deserves to live with safety & dignity. They work to elect transformative leaders who will create policy that builds a Pennsylvania that works for all people.
