State Rep. Greg Scott has introduced the Pennsylvania Universal Health Care Act (House Bill 2763), which would establish a state‑run, single‑payer health care system. The proposal, referred to the House Insurance Committee, calls for a 10% income tax to generate about $68.3 billion annually, more than the state’s current General Fund. Scott argues the bill would guarantee high‑quality coverage without out‑of‑pocket costs, addressing rising premiums that force families to drop insurance. The legislation would give the state control over provider reimbursement rates, hospital budgets, capital investments, and drug pricing.

Officials warn that many enrollees could lose benefits due to paperwork lapses or confusion, even if they remain eligible. The notices also outline exemptions for children, seniors, caregivers, pregnant people, and individuals with disabilities.
