National Night Out 2025 is August 5th!

Dear Neighbor,

Fighting so you have a healthier tomorrow

Everyone deserves access to health care. And no one should go broke or be forced to choose between their medical bills and other necessities like groceries, utilities or housing. No one should have to ask the trauma center for a price sheet and a credit application before getting emergency care.

Beyond even that, preserving health care is preserving one-sixth of Pennsylvania’s economy and tens of thousands of good jobs across the commonwealth that can’t be outsourced.

Health care is under attack in Washington, D.C., like never before. I’m fighting to protect your health coverage, expand access to care and ensure quality and affordable health care in Pennsylvania. Just this year, the House passed many bills to make sure you can stay healthy or take care of yourself when you – or someone you love – grows older, gets sick, or is injured.

Enshrining Affordable Care Act Protections - I passed bills to:

Make sure parents can keep their children insured until age 26, because medical bills should never stand in the way of a bright future.
Stop insurance companies from capping your coverage for essential benefits – because lifetime benefits should last a lifetime.
Protect coverage for pre-existing conditions, ensuring that all coverage is maintained, no matter what health condition you have – some insurance companies even try to treat getting pregnant as a “pre-existing condition” to deny care.
Require health insurance policies to cover preventive health care services without cost-sharing, keeping you healthy now and screening for health care issues that could arise in the future. After all, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Make sure private equity firms can’t buy up our hospitals and nursing homes and drain them dry before closing them down and leaving our communities without any care options.

Is there money in your mailbox?

Keep an eye on your mailbox -- 40,000 Pennsylvanians are receiving letters as part of the PA Money Match program, which returns unclaimed property worth $500 or less to its rightful owner automatically. Confirm your address, and you could receive a check in about 45 days!

Visit patreasury.gov/unclaimed-property or contact my office for help searching for other unclaimed funds of yours that PA Treasury may be holding in safekeeping -- the average claim is worth over $1,000!

Every year, the Pennsylvania Treasury helps people find and recover unclaimed property that is rightfully theirs. Currently, the Treasury has nearly $3.8 billion in unclaimed property it is seeking to return to individuals and businesses.

National Night Out

National Night Out is Tuesday August 5th. NNO is a free event with food, games, information and more. It’s a great way to get out and talk to your neighbors and maybe meet someone new.

In Royersford, it will be held on South 3^rd Avenue (near the basketball courts) from 5:00pm to 8:00pm (rain date is August 6^th). In Pottstown it will be at Chestnut St Park at Chestnut & Washington Streets starting at 6:00pm.

My staff and I will be at both events, so stop by our booth and say “Hello!”

Pottstown office closed on August 5, 2025
