Quality, Affordable,
Accessible Health Care for Your Family
Choices for
Consumers with No Tax Increase
Pennsylvanians
now have an effective healthcare option to consider. House
Republicans have developed the "Real Prescription for
Pennsylvania" with an emphasis on expanded health care
choices, increased access, improved quality of services, and
lower costs.
Quality -
Ensuring Quality Health Care for PA Families - We believe
health care decisions should be made by patients and
doctors, not government. - We believe consumers deserve a
wide choice of options, as opposed to having no choice under
the Governor's plan.
Affordable -
Driving Down Health Care Costs - Our plan drives down health
care costs by offering a variety of tax credits, while the
Governor's plan increases taxes. - Our plan introduces
competition into the marketplace, ultimately driving down
costs and offering better quality care.
Accessible -
Making Health Care Accessible - Our plan expands the use of
community health centers creating more access to health care
services and cutting down the unnecessary use of emergency
rooms. - Our plan includes medical liability reform to
address the skyrocketing costs that are driving doctors out
of the Commonwealth.
