Allyson Schwartz

Representative Allyson Schwartz was born in New York City in 1948. From 2005 until 2015, Schwartz represented Pennsylvania's 13th Congressional District in the House of Representatives. Her first legislative proposal in Congress was a bill that offered tax credits to businesses that hired veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, and this proposal was signed into law as part of a 2007 business tax reduction bill. Rep. Schwartz developed a reputation as one of the leading healthcare experts in government, authoring several key provisions of the Affordable Care Act, including the ban on denials due to preexisting conditions. She also spearheaded efforts to reform the Medicare physician payment system.

Say NO to Loony-Bins: Immediate Action Required for Inpatient Psychiatric Care

2 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

The current model of inpatient psychiatric care, which primarily focuses on safety and crisis stabilization, falls short in promoting sustained recovery. The prevalent emphasis on ultrashort lengths of stay often overlooks the need for comprehensive treatment plans.

A proposed model of care advocates for rapid diagnosis, goal-setting, and treatment modalities before initiating treatment, organized into three distinct phases: assessment, implementation, and resolution. This approach emphasizes individualized treatment and active patient involvement in treatment planning, addressing critical psychosocial aspects that are frequently neglected.

As we strive to reform the mental health care system, it's imperative to prioritize effective, recovery-oriented treatment strategies. This includes ensuring patient comfort and preferences are accommodated within reason. Considering patient preferences, like comfort items (such as safe stuffed animals; Share-Bears, if you will) and rescue medications (like melatonin,) is essential to upholding rigorous standards of care and safety.

Let's advocate for reforms that enhance patient-centered practices while adhering to established treatment guidelines and advancing recovery-oriented care.

Say no to “loony-bins;” those archaic relics that should be relegated to the distant past.

One of many reasons healthcare is so expensive in the United States is that we rank very poorly compared to developed country on both training doctors domestically and importing them from abroad. This was the consequence of a deeply confused policy capping medical school creation and enrollment from 1980 to 2005, as well as our restrictive immigration laws.

The Never Ending Battle: Trump’s Failed Quest to Repeal the Affordable Care Act

By, Cliff Potts, WPS News, Editor-in-ChiefBaybay City | January 20, 2025 As I sit down to write this just days before Donald J. Trump takes office as President of the United States, I can’t help but feel a mix of confusion and curiosity about his plans for tackling this major issue once again.

We need to dissolve private health insurance and create universal medicine in the USA

But the assurance of wealth for its members is brazenly still the top priority for the Physicians association and hospitals being for profit too makes this worse. We kind of have to fix all three things together if we want more access to care and for that care to be actually good and not rushed and sub par.

related because it seems like the anesthesia cap was horribly mis reported and misunderstood (me included) and is actually more a situation of broken clock being right in regards to the insurance company

You know what's funny? The minute people start aiming higher and taking out the powerful and wealthy and "elite", they're going to change the gun laws. Because their goal has always been for us to stay fighting each other instead of looking towards them as the real threat to our life, liberty, and freedom.
