Georgeanne Koehler has devoted herself to working tirelessly for American health care reform
that puts people before insurance company profits - she believes that, when it comes to
something as basic as health care, we should stand together to make sure everyone is covered
and that greed doesn’t come between anyone and adequate care.

national health care reform
The U.S. House made history over the weekend by approving comprehensive health care reform.
The Affordable Health Care for America Act, passed in the House by a vote of 220-215 during a
rare Saturday session, would provide quality affordable health insurance for all Pennsylvanians
and all Americans, while reining in health care costs for families, businesses and government. It
also will protect people with pre-existing medical conditions and prevent insurance companies
from dropping your coverage if you become sick.

Pennsylvania has outstripped every state in the nation except Michigan in the loss of
employment-based health insurance coverage over the course of the decade, according to a new
report analyzing U.S. Census Bureau data.
In 2007 and 2008, 694,471 fewer Pennsylvanians were insured by an employer policy than in
2000-01. The nation as a whole also saw a dramatic decline in coverage, with 17 million fewer
Americans insured by an employer policy in 2008 than at the start of the decade.
