Greetings PHAN members! My name is Holly Dolan, and I am working with the PHAN "Messaging Committee" on a project called Health on the Horizon. The purpose of this project is to take control of the framing of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and ensure its successful implementation in Pennsylvania.
Members of the Pennsylvania House Insurance Committee heard from a national expert Thursday on Massachusetts’ experience structuring a health insurance exchange.
Emma Lowenberg, an intern with the Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center, penned a great summary of the hearing at Third and State:
On June 16, 2011, 55 organizations, including PHAN, signed on to a letter to Pennsylvania state lawmakers urging them to preserve the state's Tobacco Settlement Fund for health care purposes.
The House Democratic Policy Committee, chaired by Rep. Mike Sturla (Lancaster) has been holding hearings about adultBasic and other critical health care issues in Pennsylvania—namely, the new GOP-led legislative attacks on the Affordable Care Act in Pennsylvania through things like H.B.
Action Alert: There are less than 2 weeks left to save adultBasic health coverage for 42,000 working Pennsylvanians, and we need your help to push our legislators to avert this impending disaster before it's too late.
Two bills have been introduced in the state legislature that would come up with the $52 million necessary to keep adultBasic alive through the end of the state's fiscal year (June 30th).
On February 4, the Pennsylvania Health Access Network, along with more than 70 other organizations, sent a letter to members of the Pennsylvania House Health Committee, asking them to oppose House Bill 42.
