Pittsburgh too -
our local State Senator, Jim Ferlo, is sponsoring a Medicare birthday lunch along with Western PA Coalition for Single-Payer Healthcare, Healthcare4AllPa, SEIU Healthcare Pennsylvania, Alliance for Retired Americans (ARA), and the Pennsylvania Association of Staff Nurses & Allied Professionals (PASNAP).
He is staunch for single payer.
