House Republican Health Care Task Force Co-Chair
Rep. Scott Boyd comments on the potential effects
and future of House Bill 1

House Bill 1 - the Democrats' number one priority of this session - would expand the state's AdultBasic program in an effort to meet the health insurance needs of Pennsylvanians, even though 92 percent of state residents are covered by some type of health insurance plan. The AdultBasic program was created in 2001 to serve as a health care safety net, not as a health care entitlement program.
