Health Insurance
The state House of Representatives on June 11 approved on a 198-1 vote a bill that would create a state-based health insurance exchange in Pennsylvania in order to increase access to affordable care and save money for taxpayers.
Wolf commended House members for their overwhelming bipartisan support of the measure. House Bill 3, which was sponsored by state Rep. Bryan Cutler, R-Lancaster, would transition Pennsylvania from reliance on the federal government to manage its health insurance exchange to managing its own exchanges. The exchanges allow Pennsylvanians to secure health insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act.
