“The Healthy Pennsylvania plan was created in Pennsylvania, for Pennsylvania. It is built upon common sense reforms that provide coverage options to our most vulnerable citizens in a flexible and sustainable way that protects taxpayers. Pennsylvania is home to a world class health care delivery system, and the initiatives in Healthy Pennsylvania focus on three key priorities: improving access; ensuring quality; providing affordability.”
