Great being on the PA House floor! I felt vindicated after an “arrest warrant” issued 6 days from an election was proven bogus. Serious legal & criminal issues do remain for Philly’s DAs Office & others. Winning elections can never legitimize falsely imprisoning your opponent!

Preserving mental health screenings are covered by insurance policies of Pennsylvanians is key. That’s why I’m pleased the PA House passed my bill to make this coverage state law. This is necessary after a federal judge struck down portions of the Affordable Care Act.
Every Pennsylvanian deserves basic healthcare without financial barriers. We passed a bill that requires health insurers to cover preventive services, including cancer screening and mental health treatment, without copays or deductibles. @RepKevinBoyle

Demographics are often destiny. Irish nationalists surpassing British unionists in the N Ireland election is a permanent trend. Those under 18 are 3 to 2 Irish/Catholic while 85+ are 2 to 1 British/Protestant. Inevitably after proper preparation a border poll will have to occur.

Unfortunate Northern Ireland pro British Unionism has become increasingly anti American. It’s important to keep in mind British unionism in N Ireland is a minority political view anymore (just about 40% of the vote in the six counties.)
'Joe Biden hates the UK, I don't think there's any doubt about that.' Former First Minister of Northern Ireland Dame Arlene Foster says that Joe Biden's visit to Northern Ireland 'won't put any pressure on the DUP because he's seen by so many people as simply pro-republic'.

One of Obamacare’s greatest feats has been mandated coverage for mental health & other preventative care. Unfortunately a federal court in Texas has deemed this unconstitutional. As this plays out legally I am now introducing a bill to keep this coverage as law in Pennsylvania.
Inbox: House Insurance Committee Chair Kevin Boyle (D., Philly) says he will introduce legislation to formalize ACA preventive care protections into Pennsylvania law. “Ensuring access to preventative health care just makes sense —preventative care saves lives and money. "

Happy St Patrick’s Day - Honored to join Philadelphia Irish Americans commemorating An Gorta Mor (The Irish Hunger) of the 1840s. Let’s never forget those 1 million Irish who died of starvation & 1 million more forced to flee their homeland due to British colonial policies.

RIP to my good friend Irish patriot Rita O’Hare. When history books are written about protecting the Good Friday Agreement particularly post Brexit Rita will be key. She labored hard & effectively in the US to prevent a hard border returning to Ireland. irishcentral.com/opinion/nia…

Victims of childhood sexual abuse have yet again been let down by the Pennsylvania House. Governor Wolf had called the House into emergency session this week to finally give victims justice. Instead we now learn House session days have been cancelled for the rest of the week.
