Yesterday I had the chance to talk with hundreds of folks in Erie at a senior community fair, organized by State Representative John Hornaman. We shared a table with one of our great coalition partners, the Pennsylvania Alliance for Retired Americans to help get the word out to seniors about the benefits of health reform.

High Risk Pool Beginning to Take Shape

One important reform included in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) called for the creation of “high-risk health insurance pools” in each state.  High risk pools will provide eligible patients an affordable insurance option if they faced high costs or have been denied health insurance in the past because of their illness.  Thankfully, legislators realized the immediate need of so many Americans and required these pools to be up and running this year rather than making thousands of sick individuals wait until the insurance regulation changes in 2014 take shape.<
