Prescription drug misuse plays a big part in the heroin and opioid epidemic. This #TakeBack Day, I encourage Pennsylvanians to safely dispose of unwanted prescription drugs by dropping them off at one of more than 800 take-back boxes in the commonwealth. — PolitiTweet.org

The Affordable Care Act mandates that health plans cover essential care. A repeal would remove this mandate, leaving people without covered services like mental health and maternity care. https://t.co/gFE3WlARra — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

Because of the Affordable Care Act, insurers must cover preventive care like shots and screenings. A repeal would increase costs for these services and lead to more people deferring care until it's too late https://t.co/umDazqt6Q7 — PolitiTweet.org

Without the Affordable Care Act, older adults on fixed incomes would have to deal with higher costs for life-sustaining drugs. https://t.co/jVNTH5JkMd — PolitiTweet.org

If the Affordable Care Act is repealed, young adults under age 26 will no longer be covered by their parents’ health care plans. https://t.co/RHZcEeyIF7 — PolitiTweet.org

Without the Affordable Care Act, people getting treatment for substance use disorder would lose coverage — in the middle of an opioid epidemic. https://t.co/tAzu7VrJcC — PolitiTweet.org

The Affordable Care Act protects 135 million Americans with pre-existing conditions, including: ✔️ Cancer ✔️ Asthma ✔️ Pregnancy ✔️ Diabetes ✔️ Obesity Without the ACA, these protections would end. https://t.co/cbIkJrOq9K — PolitiTweet.org

Repealing the Affordable Care Act would be devastating for Pennsylvania — especially as we continue to deal with #COVID19. I’m calling on the federal government to protect our health care, and will continue to do everything in my power as governor to stand up for Pennsylvanians. https://t.co/TZSCnwathx — PolitiTweet.org

For months, I have called for direct financial support to the bar and restaurant industries — but federal and state Republicans have not taken action. Bar and restaurant owners are committed to keeping us safe, and they deserve our help to stay afloat. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

Even with every safety measure in place, #COVID19 makes gathering in restaurants at full capacity dangerous. It’s not the fault of restaurants, and they shouldn’t have to handle this burden alone. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

Today I’m in Pittsburgh to announce help for Pennsylvania’s bars and restaurants. To ease a burden for these businesses, licensing fees will be waived as we continue to mitigate the spread of #COVID19. https://t.co/GY2TECA5tk — PolitiTweet.org

My message to Pennsylvanians as we head into a resurgence of COVID-19 cases: COVID is tough, but together, we’re tougher. The last 7.5 months have shown us that when we unite, we can defeat this virus. And we can do it again if we all do our part to stop the spread. https://t.co/yiPWg9BtHj — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

#COVID19 cases are on the rise in PA. For patients worldwide, complications can last long after they are first diagnosed. We must be cautious: Keep physical distancing, avoid large crowds and — perhaps most importantly — wear a mask when out in public. https://t.co/EFzuSTCfNR — PolitiTweet.org

Containing this virus is the only way to protect the health of Pennsylvanians and keep our economy going. I will continue to do what is necessary to keep people safe and stop the spread of COVD-19. It's time for House Republicans to do the same. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

In August, I announced a comprehensive plan to provide relief for families and help businesses recover. Instead of acting on these measures, the House Republicans have spent the last few months spreading misinformation and grandstanding. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

The fall resurgence of COVID-19 is here. It’s unfortunate that House Republicans would be pushing now to loosen safety measures and allow restaurants to open up at 100% occupancy. Their lack of concern for the health and safety of Pennsylvanians is irresponsible. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

In Pennsylvania and across the nation, restaurants and bars have been identified as a significant source of COVID-19 transmission. This is even with safety measures in place. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

Thank you to the House Democrats who continued to stand with me and sustained this veto. All Pennsylvanians should be thankful for your leadership in protecting public health throughout this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

Last week, I vetoed House Bill 2513 because it would have endangered public health and safety by allowing restaurants to open up to full capacity without regard for state and federal COVID-19 mitigation guidelines. Tonight House Republicans tried to override that veto. — PolitiTweet.org
