How Will Health Reform Help Pennsylvania?
October 13, 2009
The U.S. House of Representatives is preparing to vote on an historic bill that, if passed, will dramatically improve the state of health care in Pennsylvania.
Everyone - businesses large and small, seniors, children, those who currently have insurance, and those who don’t - will be guaranteed access to coverage they can afford if America’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009 (H.R. 3200) becomes law. Many of the problems in Pennsylvania’s health care system will be fixed, so Pennsylvanians will be able to obtain and keep high-quality, affordable coverage that meets their needs.
The major gaps in Pennsylvania’s current health coverage system are described, along with the significant ways in which H.R. 3200 will address them, in a report recently released by the Washington, D.C.-based Families USA.
