Pennsylvania Progressive Summit 2014

Progressives organized and won historic health reform four years ago, and since then, millions of Pennsylvanians have benefited from Obamacare. A ruling by the Supreme Court, however, made a critical component – Medicaid expansion – optional. Pennsylvania remains the only state in our region that has not yet taken this option, leaving hundreds of thousands without coverage. To make matters worse, the Corbett Administration has proposed the so-called Healthy PA plan that will gut the safety net for our seniors, children, and people with disabilities. It’s up to Pennsylvania’s progressives to lead the fight to protect our current Medicaid program and expand coverage for the uninsured. This workshop will talk participants through the current landscape and invite them to contribute to a winning campaign strategy.
