FactVote uses the Census Bureau's HIC-4_ACS historical table. Rates and 90% confidence margins of error are the published ACS 1-year estimates for the civilian noninstitutionalized population. ACS annual estimates, all ages. Standard ACS 2020 one-year data were not released; the chart leaves a gap. Survey ranks describe point estimates and do not establish significant differences. Annual observations use December 31; monthly observations use the first of the month. Lines connect consecutive readings and do not supply values between them. Missing observations break the lines.

How major events are selected

The timeline combines the corresponding national fact’s reviewed event catalog, labeled National context, with individually reviewed state milestones. State events use primary sources and distinguish signing, effective and filing dates. Each milestone keeps its source-check date, geographical limits and evidence limits. This curated selection is not a complete history.

Date ranges affect events and actions. Action type, status and official-name search affect government records only. Events remain separate from action counts. An event after the latest observation extends context without creating a new reading.

People under 65 without health insurance

7.2%2024 ACS annual estimate

Share of Pennsylvania’s civilian noninstitutionalized residents under age 65 who lacked comprehensive health-insurance coverage at the time of the ACS survey.

This source snapshot keeps its own definition and period. A rank shown elsewhere applies only to that comparison’s measure and period.

Method and limitations

U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts estimate derived from the American Community Survey.

This excludes people age 65 and older and is a annual survey estimate rather than a current enrollment count.
Insurance status does not measure affordability, provider availability, coverage adequacy, or quality of care.

How Pennsylvania action records are selected

Records come from published fact relationships or reviewed topic records with official supporting evidence and verified Pennsylvania officeholder attribution. Historical executive officials require evidence tied to the action date and are excluded from incumbent proposals. Inclusion follows an explicit topic review, a related state fact, or the action’s title and supporting evidence. Explicit topic reviews take priority; repeated actions use the most recent explicit review for this topic. Duplicate actions attached to several facts appear once. This topic match is not a new finding that an action caused a result, and the reviewed collection is selective. Collection reviewed Sep 3, 2026.

Candidate campaign source

Healthcare should be a right, not a privilege. We have the best healthcare professionals in the world – but only if you can afford it. That’s a problem. That’s not good enough. No one should delay seeing a doctor because they’re worried about the bill. No family should go bankrupt because someone gets sick. America leads the world in medical innovation, yet too many people still struggle to afford the care they need. Every American deserves the security of knowing they’ll receive quality care when they need it. Millions of Americans rely on Affordable Care Act premium tax credits to keep their health insurance within reach. I’ll fight to permanently restore and expand those tax credits so families don’t wake up to hundreds of dollars in higher monthly premiums simply because Congress failed to act. I believe we need to lower the age that Americans can buy into Medicare from 65 to 55. Unlike Brian Fitzpatrick, who voted against lowering the cost of prescription medications for seniors, I’ll expand Medicare’s authority to negotiate prescription drug prices, cap insulin costs, and take on pharmaceutical companies that put profits ahead of patients.

To tackle the addiction epidemic, we must also deal with mental health and ensure that those suffering from addiction and mental health issues get the care they need. I have led bipartisan efforts to remove barriers to substance use disorder treatment services under Medicaid. I also support the Parity Enforcement Act and Mental Health Compliance Act to strengthen enforcement of the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act by requiring health plans and insurers to comply with federal parity requirements on providing equal coverage for mental and medical care. When approaching health policy, we must make sure that we give mental health the same attention that we devote to physical illness.

We need to proceed in fixing our healthcare system in a responsible, deliberate manner. That means any changes to our current system must ensure both the continuity of coverage and the continuity of patient protection provisions for those with preexisting conditions. Our system needs reform, and that is why I have supported tort reform to drive down the cost of health care, the repeal the bureaucratic Independent Payment Advisory Boards established by Obamacare, which threatened seniors and their hard-earned Medicare benefits, and the repeal of the medical device tax. We also need to lower the cost of prescription drugs, and I have introduced the bipartisan Increasing Access to Biosimilars Act to help reduce the cost of prescription drugs by encouraging competition and increasing access to biosimilars.

I support tax breaks for the hard-working middle class, not billionaires. I support no tax on tips or overtime and would vote to make that permanent. We need bipartisan problem-solving to pass laws that lower the cost of necessities— including food, gas, housing, utility costs, prescription drugs and more. I will repeal these tariff taxes that are increasing costs and vote to end the war in Iran. And we must address the national deficit, which has reached $41 trillion under Perry’s leadership. I will prioritize cutting wasteful government spending and make sure your taxpayer dollars are not abused.

In Congress, I will vote to ensure that those who serve our country in the Armed Forces receive the benefits they have earned. Congressman Perry voted against the largest expansion of veterans’ benefits and health care in VA history. Every member of Congress from Pennsylvania EXCEPT Scott Perry voted to help house homeless veterans. In Congress, I will vote to expand access to health benefits, continuing education and job-training to equip veterans for continued success back home in our communities.

Source topic or question: Priorities — For Central Pennsylvanians

Candidate campaign source

Women should make their own health care decisions with recommendations from their doctors. But Congressman Scott Perry thinks politicians should be able to tell you when, where and how to start a family. It’s why for years he has sponsored a nationwide abortion ban with no exceptions for rape, incest or the life of the woman. He even supports a law that would ban IVF. In Congress, I will fight to ensure the protections guaranteed under Roe are once again the law of the land.

How statements are selected

This section matches specific health coverage, healthcare costs, access to care and public health terms in retained, attributed source text from published Pennsylvania candidate profiles. A profile heading or biography alone does not qualify. The Florida geography is fixed; saved state preferences cannot change these results. A mention can concern a community or group rather than Florida’s statewide measure.

Matching is automatic and does not establish a candidate’s stance, the accuracy of a claim, or an effect on the measured result. Results are grouped by recorded race, then by candidate name. Within each candidate, the matching issue mentions appear first. Only candidates with matching retained statements are shown; this is not a complete race roster. Repeated identical text for the same candidate is shown once. Coverage follows the existing state profiles and is not a complete record of all candidates or everything they have said. Review dates are not statement dates.

What sponsorship and proposal counts tell us

Only current Pennsylvania officeholders retained in the reviewed collection qualify. Bills require a recorded primary sponsorship; cosponsors and signing officials are excluded from sponsorship counts. An official introducer recorded as acting by request is labeled “Introduced by request”; that procedural role does not establish personal policy endorsement. Governor and agency records qualify when recorded as proposed. A separately verified governor transmittal can also establish an original proposal whose latest status reflects its later outcome. Signing an enacted law alone does not establish a proposal. A record appearing under several facts is counted once per officeholder. A bill with multiple primary sponsors appears under each recorded sponsor.

Enacted bills, adopted resolutions and unsuccessful measures remain visible as proposal history. Passing one chamber is not enactment. These counts do not measure effectiveness or prove that an action changed a Pennsylvania statistic. Collection reviewed Sep 3, 2026.

Sources & methods

Every section retains its primary sources, units, reporting periods and comparison limits. Maps, graphs and tables use the same observation and cohort. All 50 states are listed; D.C. and territories are excluded. Missing and suppressed values remain unavailable and never become zero.

#1 is the highest measured value. Equal source values share a rank and leave gaps (1, 2, 2, 4). Ranks use source precision and are descriptive, not a score of the state. Survey uncertainty and reporting coverage can limit comparisons. Published U.S. benchmarks are used where available; a state average is not substituted.

Pennsylvania snapshots and fiscal sources keep their own dates and accounting scope. National events and federal distribution explainers describe national context. Actions and statements are filtered to Pennsylvania, retain their reviewed evidence, and do not establish that a policy caused a measured change.

Retained state source collections assembled October 5, 2026. Original review and source dates remain visible. Refreshing this page does not refresh an official data release.
