Protecting Healthcare Access

HARRISBURG, PA – May 14, 2025 – State Senator Tim Kearney (D – Delaware), and State Representative Lisa Borowski (D – Delaware) yesterday formally introduced companion legislation aimed at protecting Pennsylvania healthcare services and facilities from the harmful effects of unchecked corporate ownership in the healthcare industry. The pair of bills, Senate Bill 322 and House Bill 1460, will grant the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General authority to oversee hospital mergers, acquisitions, and major financial transactions that may jeopardize patient access and public health.

Sen. Tim Kearney & Rep. Lisa Borowski introduce legislation to safeguard PA's healthcare systems

State Representative Lisa Borowski (D – Delaware) yesterday formally introduced companion legislation aimed at protecting Pennsylvania healthcare services and facilities from the harmful effects of unchecked corporate ownership in the healthcare industry. The pair of bills, Senate Bill 322 and House Bill 1460, will grant the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General authority to oversee hospital mergers, acquisitions, and major financial transactions that may jeopardize patient access and public health.

Lisa has been fighting back. For two sessions she has championed stronger legislation which would provide the attorney general with tools to provide more oversight and insight into mergers and acquisitions by private equity. Both bills passed out of the house with bi-partisan support, only to be stalled in the senate.

Lisa is a proud pro-choice candidate who will always stand up for a person’s right to make their own healthcare decisions. Having spent most of her career in healthcare, Lisa deeply values the doctor-patient relationship. No matter one’s personal views on abortion, she believes that choice should remain between a person and their doctor – there’s no place for politicians interfering.

Right to Choose

With states now on the frontlines of protecting abortion access, Lisa has been and will continue to be a strong advocate in Harrisburg. Most recently she is co-sponsor of legislation to amend the Pennsylvania Constitution to reaffirm and protect every Pennsylvanian’s right to privacy and ensure that the state shall not deny or interfere with an individual’s reproductive freedom in their most intimate personal decisions. This amendment would ensure that every individual has a right of privacy with respect to personal, sexual, and reproductive healthcare decisions, including the right to choose or refuse an abortion, the right to choose or refuse contraceptives, and the right to choose or refuse fertility care, all without discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion, or relationship status.

Supports limiting artificial intelligence in healthcare, nursing workforce support, broader professional practice authority, and measures to make doctor visits easier.

Introduced House Bill 1460 to authorize attorney general oversight of hospital mergers, acquisitions, and major financial transactions.

Supports abortion access and says reproductive healthcare decisions should remain between a person and their doctor.

Healthcare

Public education is what got Lisa involved in politics, and it will always be a top priority of hers as State Representative. As a former Vice President of the Radnor Township School District and a parent of two public school graduates, Lisa has led the way to invest in our public schools.

Public Education

Borowski said she is eagerly working on her proposals for the 2025-26 legislative session and will continue to focus on strengthening public schools, keeping resources flowing to first responders, bringing new dollars home to fund district projects, ending the proliferation of “medical deserts” as the result of health system mergers, and protecting consumers from unscrupulous subscription service practices. “I’m here to make sure residents’ voices are heard in Harrisburg and to advocate for legislation that would improve life for people in Delco and across the commonwealth,” Borowski said. “That means working to ensure public schools are funded adequately and that people can access what they need to live healthy and productive lives, from medical services to affordable housing and utilities.”

Since entering office in 2023, Lisa has been proud to be part of a Pennsylvania legislature that has invested more than $3 billion in additional funding for public schools — representing a 35% increase in total education funding. Lisa was proud to support the Student Teacher Stipend program to help support new teachers training to enter the profession and is working on legislation to lower the school nurse to student ratio and provide the funding needed to schools to hire more school nurses.

New regulations like mandated recess and cursive instruction have been supported by Lisa and she is part of the conversation as the legislature considers a bell-to-bell cell phone ban.

Education

Lisa has cosponsored multiple pieces of legislation to regulate the industry including repealing the Data Center Sales Tax Exemption, allowing municipalities to enact a six-month pause on Data Center applications, and GRID certification to protect energy affordability, meet transparency standards, engage local communities, and use advanced technology to minimize water and energy use while preventing pollution and environmental impacts.

Protecting the Environment

Lisa is dedicated to fighting climate change, including through a shift toward renewable energy sources. As a Radnor Commissioner, she supported Township participation in the Sierra Club’s Ready for 100% commitment to clean, renewable energy, fought for open space preservation, and helped protect the community’s natural resources.

Since joining the legislature she has worked on issues which will make a small and large impact. Her “Right to Dry” legislation would prevent HOA’s from restricting residents from installing clotheslines on their property. She has also introduced comprehensive e-recycling legislation in collaboration with a bipartisan effort in the senate to create a program for the commonwealth to make it easier and more cost effective for residents to recycle electronic waste.

Co-sponsored data-center regulations, including repealing a sales-tax exemption, a local application pause, and GRID certification standards.

Energy & the Environment

Having worked for over three decades in healthcare in areas of Philadelphia where gun violence takes a disproportionate toll, Lisa has seen firsthand how gun violence shatters too many families and futures. She has always supported common sense legislation to end gun violence, including universal background checks, closing loopholes in firearm legislation, and red flag laws.

Common Sense Gun Reform

Lisa continues to be an advocate for gun safety legislation working with advocacy groups like CeaseFire and Moms Demand Action. She has been supportive of legislation including Extreme Risk Protection Orders (red flag laws), firearm safe storage, and expanded background checks. Sadly, none of these pieces of legislation have advanced in the Senate.

As a mother, Lisa will always prioritize the safety of our community and is a proven advocate for our first responders. In her time as a Radnor Commissioner, she supported police funding for increased staffing, training, programming, and state-of-the-art public safety equipment every year she was in office, making Radnor a leader in community policing.

Public Safety

Since joining the legislature, Lisa has made support for fire, EMS, and police a top priority. Funding for EMS is of particular interest and Lisa’s first piece of legislation introduced was to ensure EMS were paid for transports to hospitals by Medicaid. Removing the “loaded miles” restriction allows EMS to be reimbursed properly and was written into the 2024 PA Fiscal Code.

Lisa is also currently working in a bipartisan manner with a colleague in Allegheny County to change laws regarding direct billing so insurance payments for EMS services are sent to the care provider, not the patient.

Nothing is more fundamental to our democracy than the right to vote, but today, it’s under attack. Lisa supports expanding voting rights and making voting easier for all Pennsylvanians.
