House lawmakers propose bill to protect preventive medical care

(Jun 18, 2026) Rep. Tarik Khan

HARRISBURG, June 18 – As federal officials continue to threaten public health, state Reps. Arvind Venkat, Tarik Khan and Bridget Kosierowski, all healthcare professionals, have announced their intention to introduce legislation that would require insurers to continue to cover previously recommended forms of preventive care and allow the Pennsylvania Department of Health to update those recommendations based on the best scientific evidence informed by healthcare professional organizations. The proposed legislation would require insurers in Pennsylvania to cover all forms of preventive services recommended by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and the Health Resources and Services Administration as of Jan. 1, 2025. These three agencies have seen significant leadership changes since that time, raising concerns over their independence and scientific credibility. Under the Affordable Care Act, insurers must cover preventive medical care services recommended by these federal bodies without patient financial responsibility. With the federal changes in these critical entities, Venkat said the validity of their recommendations is very much in question, threatening the insurance coverage of preventive medical care for all Pennsylvanians. “As a physician-legislator, I have seen how access to evidence-based preventive medical care is under attack,” said Venkat, Read more

Pennsylvania House lawmakers introduce voting rights protection legislation

(May 08, 2026) Rep. Tarik Khan

HARRISBURG, May 8 -- Members of the Pennsylvania House Democratic Caucus today announced the introduction of legislation to strengthen and protect voting rights for Pennsylvanians in response to recent federal court decisions weakening key protections under the Voting Rights Act of 1965. For decades, the Voting Rights Act protected Black voters and other minority communities from discriminatory practices such as racial gerrymandering, voter intimidation and barriers designed to suppress participation in the democratic process. However, the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision in Louisiana v. Callais and Tennessee, increased the burden required to challenge discriminatory voting maps, placing minority voters at greater risk of having their voting power diluted. In response, the proposed legislation would establish stronger protections in Pennsylvania law to safeguard fair representation and equal access to the ballot box. “The Voting Rights Act was the cornerstone of the Civil Rights Movement and has been foundational in the building of a multiracial democracy. And now that democracy is put at risk. Our ancestors fought and died for these protections, and the United States Supreme Court has whisked those sacrifices away with the wave of a hand; silencing the voices of voters that lawmakers will simply choose not to listen to, said state Rep. Napoleon Nelson, chair of the Pennsylvania Legislative Black Caucus. Read more
