Your health insurance shouldn't be able to stop covering you when you need it most.
Federal prohibitions on annual and lifetime limits were established by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2010, allowing millions of Americans with chronic conditions or serious illnesses to live without the constant fear of financial ruin.
These protections are under threat of attack. The federal administration, and antagonistic judges, have stated opposition to the Affordable Care Act. If the federal protections go away, too many Pennsylvanians are vulnerable to an abrupt loss of care.
This is why I intend to introduce legislation that would enshrine such protections into state law.
This danger of annual and lifetime limits is especially significant for residents with chronic conditions or serious illnesses, who could quickly face bankruptcy if their insurance coverage is cut off.
By passing a state law prohibiting annual and lifetime coverage limits, we can ensure that Pennsylvanians will not lose their healthcare coverage due to the whims of federal courts or the political trends in Washington, D.C.
Please join me in protecting residents from the devastating costs of unexpected health issues. With this legislation, we can support the financial stability of families and contribute to the overall health and economic well-being of our commonwealth.
