“Too many Pennsylvanians are burdened with debt simply because they chose to receive treatment for an illness,” said Davidson, D-Cumberland/Dauphin. “In particular, cancer patients are over 70% more likely than other individuals to experience the devastating consequences of medical debt, have bills in collections and face tax liens or foreclosure. Those cancer patients with medical debt are three times as likely to not pursue treatment, even in the face of increased mortality. This legislation is a positive step toward addressing the issue of medical debt in the commonwealth and ensuring that Pennsylvanians are not forced to forgo life-saving treatment because of the cost.” Read more

HARRISBURG, April 9 – Legislation introduced by state Rep. Danilo Burgos to re-establish the Pennsylvania Fresh Food Financing Initiative passed the PA House today. House Bill 764 would restore the Pennsylvania Fresh Food Financing Initiative, which originally operated from 2004 to 2010. The program would once again provide grants for the construction, rehabilitation or expansion of grocery stores, farmers markers and other healthy food retail establishments in low- to moderate-income areas in need. “Restarting this program would allow us to help people who continue to suffer from hunger and malnourishment, as well as improve the quality of fresh produce available to people and promote local agricultural products throughout Pennsylvania,” Burgos said. “Food deserts continue to be serious problem in urban and rural areas alike. This program is proven to help with food insecurity, and it is time to restore it.” State Reps. Morgan Cephas, Nathan Davidson and Greg Scott joined Burgos in authoring the bill and advocating for its passage. Cephas, D-Phila., who serves as the Chairwoman of the Philadelphia House Delegation, said, “I’m very supportive of re-establishing the Pennsylvania Fresh Food Financing Initiative which was a successful lifeline for so many communities in Philadelphia. Rampant health issues including malnutrition and obesity can be linked to a lack of access to fresh foods and Read more

HARRISBURG, March 20 – This week, state Rep. Nate Davidson was appointed by Pennsylvania House Speaker Joanna McClinton to serve on the Canada-United States Relations Committee of the Council of State Governments and welcomed the Canadian Consul General Tom Clark and a delegation of Canadian representatives to the Pennsylvania state Capitol. “It is a great honor and responsibility to be appointed to serve on the Canada-United States Relations Committee, especially at a time when our relationship is being tested by the reckless tariffs imposed by our federal government in Washington,” said Davidson, D-Cumberland/Dauphin. “In spite of the harm that will be inflicted on American consumers by those actions, I am eager to work with colleagues from across the nation to reinforce our bilateral relationship with Canada. As Consul General Clark reminded us, our ‘bond is built on friendship, trust and shared values,’ and we must be steadfast in our pledge to our Canadian neighbors that they will always have a friend in Pennsylvania.” The U.S. and Canada share one of the world’s most prosperous trade relationships, and Davidson emphasized the need for continued collaboration to support innovation, job creation, and sustainable economic development. “Canada is Pennsylvania’s No. 1 export partner, surpassing the next four largest export markets -- Mexico, China, the Netherlands and Japan -- Read more

HARRISBURG, Jan. 16 – State Reps. Arvind Venkat, Nate Davidson, Tarik Khan, Bridget M. Kosierowski, Andrew Kuzma, Jim Rigby and Tim Twardzik have introduced a bipartisan bill that would create the Pennsylvania Medical Debt Relief Program. The legislation ( H.B. 79 ) would target the medical debt of low-income Pennsylvania residents for relief. The Pennsylvania Medical Debt Relief Program would also improve the finances of health care institutions and providers, concentrated largely in rural Pennsylvania, that regularly carry debt that is less likely to be repaid. Furthermore, the legislation would enact provisions to ensure transparency in existing hospital charity care programs and provide assistance in applying for charity care to prevent the accumulation of new medical debt. “Medical debt has been dubbed a ‘uniquely American problem,’ so it’s my hope that our bill will help provide relief to as many Pennsylvanians as possible,” said Venkat, D-Allegheny. “I’m proud to partner with bipartisan colleagues on this legislation that reduces the burden of affording medical care and allows families to put more food on the table.” “This legislation is more than just a policy – it's a lifeline that restores dignity, empowers families, and ensures that health does not come at the cost of hardship. I’m proud to sponsor this bipartisan measure so that vulnerable Pennsylvanians can focus on their Read more
