Rural PA is facing a healthcare crisis.

According to the Center for Rural Pennsylvania, most rural communities have only one primary care physician for every 1,395 residents — meaning longer waits, shorter visits, and a higher risk that missing something preventable could lead to worse outcomes down the line.

And that only accounts for residents who can afford coverage for care. Roughly 26% of rural Pennsylvanians rely on Medicaid, which now faces significant cuts and increased barriers to care thanks to the “Big Beautiful Bill.”

It’s time to address this crisis with a comprehensive health care plan that would cover EVERY Pennsylvanian regardless of income or zip code, investing in overall care by cutting out the insurance middlemen and giving power back to patients and their providers.

Earlier this month, HealthCare4AllPA hosted a rally in Erie, PA, gathering together patients, advocates, providers & policymakers behind the upcoming Universal Healthcare in PA Act.

One of our distinguished speakers, Dr. Scott Tyson, MD, is a proud graduate of Pitt School of Medicine with over 40 years of clinical experience specializing in pediatric care. Today, he serves as a Board member for HealthCare4AllPA and has long been a tireless advocate for single-payer healthcare here in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

“The U.S. spends $5.4 trillion on healthcare each year,” said Dr. Tyson, “of which 1.7 trillion is going to the insurance industry — and they don’t do sh*t!”

Recent reporting from the The New York Times shows the stark contrast between President Donald J. Trump ‘s big promises and the harsh realities of American healthcare today.

Billions of dollars will be cut from Medicaid over the next decade under the “Big Beautiful Bill,” while the price for many health insurance premiums has jumped by roughly 26% after Congress failed to renew the ACA enhanced tax credit program.

The American people — and the people of Pennsylvania — deserve better. That is why we at HealthCare4AllPA are fighting for the passage of the Universal Healthcare in PA Act to give every Pennsylvania comprehensive coverage with NO premiums, NO copays, NO deductibles and NO service charges or fees.

Healthcare costs have been rising faster than inflation, and a staggering share of that spending is consumed by administrative middlemen, soaring drug prices, and emergency care for conditions that should have been treated earlier and for less.

A single-payer universal health care system could cover every American, save more than 100,000 lives a year, and still cost $1 trillion less than the system it
