Corbett Has A Friday Deadline On Health Exchange
Gov. Tom Corbett has until Friday, Dec. 14, to return the $33 million he took last may to set up a Health Insurance Exchange in Pennsylvania reports Teri Adams of the Independence Hall Tea Party Association.
Nebraska officials have estimated that a Health Insurance Exchange would cost their state over $600 million. Pennsylvania has six times the population.
The IHTPA asks that those concerned contact the Governor at 717-787-2500 or 717-772-8284 (fax) and let him know to do the right thing and save the state. The association also suggests that callers ask the governor to back State Rep. Matt Baker’s Healthcare Freedom Act that would allow Pennsylvania to completely opt out of Obamacare.
