Malpractice would only be reinstated, however, for those physicians who add the PA ABC patients as enrollees, with payout at low Medicaid-like fees.

Health Care 4 All PA needs to empower those legislatures who resist this ploy by helping them to see that resisting this makes moral sense.

(Thanks to Jerry Policoff for making available the above statistics on Adult Basic and PA ABC. Jerry will be writing a more comprehensive article on this very topic in the days to come).

Governor Rendell is on record as saying he will sign HB 1660 if it comes across his desk.

Our grassroots efforts have many dimensions. We see the corruption of the insurance companies and we see the politicians who pander to them.

But to date, we have 43 sponsors for HB 1660 and SB 300 in the State House and Senate.

Our growing grassroots movement needs to become aggressively disciplined and organized to fight the forces of ignorance here in Pennsylvania.

So we have taken it to the next level which is: Gaining support for an economic impact study to outline exactly how much Universal Access to health care will cost in the Commonwealth.

We need the economic impact study because our group is not a legislative body.

The study does not guarantee passage, but makes the case for passage.

Keep in mind that Rendell's PA ABC did not have an economic impact study.

Sounds like it could have used one.

The Casino and Gaming initiatives had no economic impact study.

The bar is set higher for us.

We've hit every standard and crossed it.

We will not back down.

We will get the money for the economic impact study in the Autumn of this year.
