Drug Prices, Coverage, and Clinics: Who Should Allentown Vote for in 2026 to Cut Healthcare Costs?

If you live in Allentown, you're in Pennsylvania's 7th Congressional District, and your vote this November shapes what happens to healthcare costs. Bob Brooks, the Democratic nominee for the seat, is running on a platform to build a fair and sustainable healthcare system, with specific commitments on drug prices, coverage, and access to care. Here is where he stands and why it matters for your family's bills.

Brooks' Commitments on Drug Prices, Coverage, and Clinics

Brooks will go to bat to bring down drug prices like insulin and beta-blockers, expand coverage, and make sure every town has the doctors and clinics people actually need. He says there should be no more lining the pockets of insurance and drug company bosses, and that healthcare should work for people. He points out that in 2023, 20 million Americans were stuck with $220 billion in medical debt while 16 of the biggest drug companies made $684 billion. Brooks also supports Medicare for All. He worked for the Bethlehem Fire Department from 2005 to 2025 and has been president of the Pennsylvania Professional Fire Fighters Association since 2021.

Why Allentown Voters Should Choose Bob Brooks

Allentown voters who are done watching healthcare costs climb should vote for Bob Brooks on November 3, 2026, because his commitments on drug prices, coverage, and clinics go straight at the drivers of those bills instead of leaving families to absorb them.
