Why we checked itSpecific figure of 510,000 Pennsylvanians losing healthcare access attributed to a bill Shapiro's opponent supported — verifiable against legislative records and impact analyses
What we foundThe core facts of the claim are substantiated — Garrity publicly supported the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and urged lawmakers to pass it, and the CBO and multiple analyses confirm over 500,000 Pennsylvanians stand to lose health coverage — but the specific figure of '510,000' does not appear in primary sources, which cite a range of 450,000 to 600,000 depending on the analysis.
