Max Cooper, a former emergency room doctor at the now-closed Crozer Hospital in Delaware County, spoke about the dangers of private equity firms purchasing hospitals and then shutting them down for profit.
Prospect Medical Holdings, which closed four Delaware County hospitals in the last three years, purchased Corzer in July 2016 for $300 million. The company promised to keep the hospital open for 10 years, but closed it with very little warning last month.
Lawmakers in the Pennsylvania House passed House Bill 1460, which aims to stop exploitative private equity practices, by a bipartisan 121 to 82 margin on Tuesday. The bill also allows the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s office to block deals that threaten access to care.

Peggy Malone, a nurse who worked at Crozer Hospital, told The Keystone that she was fired from a new job after speaking out against private equity firms closing hospitals across the commonwealth.
Prospect Medical Holdings closed four hospitals it purchased, including Crozer, in Delaware County over the last three years. The company originally promised to keep the hospital open for 10 years, however, they closed Crozer with little warning at the beginning of May.
Malone explained that she had a new job lined up after Crozer closed but was unexpectedly fired after expressing her views about Prospect Medical Holdings at a press conference with Gov. Josh Shapiro last month.

State Rep. Joe Hohenstein (D-Philadelphia) served as an immigration attorney before his election to the Pennsylvania House, and he had a dire warning for union members while speaking about Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) raids happening across the country.
Hohenstein says that President Donald Trump’s administration is coming after the working class and the American way of life.
On Monday, labor unions across Pennsylvania called for an end to the ICE raids sweeping across the commonwealth and the country after federal agents arrested SEIU California President David Huerta last Friday. Huerta was charged with conspiracy to impede an officer during an ICE raid, which could carry a jail sentence of up to six years in prison.

Matthew Yarnell, President of SEIU Healthcare PA, warned that Medicaid reforms in the US House Republicans’ budget bill may cost millions of Americans their health care coverage.
Republicans passed a budget earlier this month that cuts Medicaid by $700 billion and could force over 7 million Americans off the program.
Under the bill, Medicaid recipients would have to prove that they are working at least 80 hours a month and renew their coverage every six months.
Medicaid covers over 3 million Pennsylvanians and 34% of all births throughout the commonwealth. According to the Center for American Progress, 340,000 Pennsylvanians could lose their coverage if the US Senate approves this budget.

“These guys don’t know how to govern.”
That’s how Gov. Josh Shapiro summed up President Donald Trump’s first five months in office while speaking to reporters at a food bank in Philadelphia on Wednesday.
Shapiro was in Philadelphia to announce that he’s suing the Trump administration for withholding $13 million in funding to help Pennsylvania farmers grow fresh food for food banks across the state.

Democratic Congresswoman Summer Lee (D-Allegheny) confronted ex-WWE CEO and current Department of Education Secretary Linda McMahon about the 2020 election results during a contentious US House hearing on Wednesday.
Lee asked McMahon if teaching the accurate results of the 2020 election was an “illegal DEI.” McMahon refused to answer the question.
The question comes after Oklahoma became the first state to add the conspiracy theory that President Donald Trump won the 2020 election to their history curriculum.
High school teachers in the state will teach students about debunked conspiracies surrounding non-existent mail-in voter fraud.

State Rep. Arvind Venkat (D-Allegheny) warned of dire consequences if Republicans in Congress pass President Donald Trump’s budget bill, which includes a $700 billion cut to Medicaid.
Venkat is the only emergency room physician to serve in the Pennsylvania General Assembly, and he shared a heartbreaking story about a patient foregoing cancer treatment because she didn’t want to go into medical debt.
Medicaid covers over 3 million Pennsylvanians and helps fund 34% of all births throughout the state. According to the Center for American Progress, over 340,000 Pennsylvanians could lose their health care coverage as a result of Trump’s budget.

State Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta (D-Philadelphia) called out supposed pro-life lawmakers for supporting Medicaid cuts that could potentially kill people.
Kenyatta spoke at a press conference outside of the Pennsylvania State Capitol in Harrisburg on Monday, responding to remarks made by US Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), who doubled down on a town hall statement that death is inevitable and to embrace Christianity.
Ernst told constituents,“Well, we are all going to die” after being confronted about her support for President Donald Trump’s budget bill, which includes a $700 billion cut to Medicaid.
Medicaid supports over 3 million Pennsylvanians and funds 34% of all births throughout the state. Over 340,000 residents could lose health care coverage as a result of these cuts.
