Summer called out the profit-driven greed of health care executives.
The people of Western PA work hard for their paychecks, John.
So when a new report found University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) Presbyterian to be the number one least charitable nonprofit hospital in the United States, Summer wasted no time before calling out the profit-driven greed of health care executives.
Here’s some of what Summer said:
“The fact that we now know that UPMC is cheating our community out of $246M on the backs of taxpayers, enough to erase medical debt for 167,000 Pennsylvanians — is shameful beyond reprieve. Instead of promoting the health of our families, they only care about promoting their profitability. It’s time for accountability.”
If you agree with Summer that it's time to hold the health care industry accountable, will you chip in $5 or more today to ensure Summer has the resources to lead this fight in Congress?

For too long, UPMC has cheated the system — they claim to be a “non-profit” while bringing in billions and not paying what they should in taxes. While the rest of us struggled under the crushing weight of a global pandemic, UPMC made record profits.
UPMC has exploited our hospital workers to the point of a staffing crisis that puts our loved ones’ lives at risk and left our most marginalized communities behind without access to care.
Summer isn't afraid to stand up for what she knows is right. She has been on the frontlines fighting against the harms of UPMC’s monopoly power over hospital workers and patients in the Pittsburgh area since her days in the State House.
The health care industry has deep pockets to use against leaders like Summer. John, will you make sure she has the support to lead this fight and defend our communities with a donation today?
Thank you,
Team Summer
