Since Governor Rendell introduced Prescription for
Pennsylvania last year many important measures have been
implemented to address the quality, accessibility and
affordability of health care.
To learn more about these initiatives click: Legislation or Executive Orders.
However, more still needs to be done, especially to ensure that
the hundreds of thousands of uninsured Pennsylvania adults have
the access to health care they need. Recently, the Pennsylvania
House of Representatives passed a proposal called Pennsylvania
Access to Basic Care, or PA ABC. The plan is similar to Governor
Rendell's Cover All Pennsylvanians proposal to offer uninsured
individuals in PA access to affordable health care and make it
more affordable for small businesses to provide health insurance
for their employees.
PA ABC and other common sense insurance reform initiatives
currently before the General Assembly will help to ensure all
Pennsylvanians and small businesses will have access to affordable
health insurance. These reforms are the right things to do,
the smart thing to do to lower cost for all, and the time to do
them is now! To learn more about ABC click here.
