ISSUES

When you work for a living, you deserve a living wage and the ability to balance work with family. Health care should be affordable. CEO's and corporations should pay their fair share of taxes. Better PA promotes ideas that respect hard-working Pennsylvanians and strengthens their families and communities. 

Solutions

Better Earning Opportunities
Pennsylvania’s minimum wage has been stuck at $7.25 an hour for 13 years. All of Pennsylvania's surrounding states have raised the wage since then, but Pennsylvania workers are falling behind. Raising the state minimum wage would help 2 million hardworking Pennsylanians, boost our economy, and strengthen communities. BetterPA is determined to grow Pennsylvania’s economy in a way that works for hard workers.

Better Lives for Families
Pennsylvania workers should should be able to balance their job with their sick child or parent. Better PA supports a paid family medical leave law that allows new parents to be at home following the birth or adoption of a child and lets workers take time to care for family members when illness occurs. ​

Better Health Care
Pennsylvania families need to be able to afford their health care. One in three privately insured Pennsylvanians were hit with a surprise medical bill in the last year, with some amounting to  thousands of dollars. And prescription drug costs are skyrocketing. Better PA wants to end surprise billing and to reverse rising drug prices by making pharmacy benefit managers and pharmaceutical manufacturers more transparent and accountable. ​

Better Elections
We need to make sure our voting system is secure and that all eligible citizens can exercise their right to vote. Better PA is working to make it easier for residents to register and vote, to protect against unnecessary barriers, and to end gerrymandering, which steals choice from voters and hides politicians from accountability.
