HARRISBURG, Pa. —
Pennsylvania lawmakers and healthcare advocates are set to announce legislation on Monday that is aimed at creating a publicly administered, single-payer healthcare system for everyone who lives or works in the Commonwealth.
The announcement is scheduled for 2 p.m. in the Main Rotunda of the Pennsylvania Capitol in Harrisburg. WGAL will livestream the announcement when it happens.
Organizers say the effort comes as recent federal Medicaid cuts begin taking effect. They say those cuts could reduce or eliminate healthcare coverage for millions of people nationwide, including hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians.
The proposal is being supported by Healthcare 4 All PA.
