Health Care Reform In The Legislature:

Progress is continuing to be made to reform health care in Pennsylvania. Recently, state Rep. Todd Eachus announced a series of bills to reform small group insurance, reauthorize the Pennsylvania Health Care Cost Containment Council (PHC4), protect patients from costly medical errors, and improve access to affordable health insurance. From modernizing and expanding the adultBasic program to needed small group insurance market reforms, these are important steps to addressing health care and a good beginning to this legislative session. Some of the bills have already been passed by the House and are in the Senate awaiting consideration. Likewise, the Senate has passed similar bills and they await action in the House.
