The governor stressed that Pennsylvania’s uninsured rate has fallen by more than 50 percent over the past eight years.
Meanwhile, Pennsylvania Insurance Department Commissioner Jessica Altman, commented that they are “working tirelessly to inform consumers about their options.”
“The record low number of uninsured shows that Pennsylvanians want and deserve access to health coverage,” she added.
Pennsylvania Human Services Secretary Teresa Miller commented that “the individual market and Medicaid expansion are still working,” despite efforts to repeal the ACA.
