I was told this announcement may be missing from my earlier post.
Announcement and rally info:
Effective May 1st 2010 Crozer-Keystone Health System will no longer
accept people on Medicaid!*
All 27,000 people on Medicaid that rely on those hospitals for care
will now have to travel out of Delaware County.
~This leaves only one hospital in all of Delaware County to provide
maternity care to these women.
~Over 9,500 Medicaid recipients will now lose access to their primary
care doctor.
~More than 17,000 people on Medicaid used a Crozer-Keystone specialist
last year, they will now have to travel to a different county to receive
care.
*Join us for a rally on Monday, May 3rd at 1:00 PM Outside
Crozer-Chester Medical Center at One Medical Center Blvd, Upland PA, 19013.*
If you're on Medicaid and use those hospitals, feel free to let us know.
*Contact Athena to RSVP/for more info at [email protected].*
/*In cases of a real emergency, Medicaid recipients can still use the
Crozer-Chester Hopistal system. Also, some patients on a specialized
course of treatment will be able to finish the treatment.

adultBasic, an affordable health insurance program for low-income
Pennsylvanians is in jepordy! *If the program dies, it means 40,000
Pennsylvanians will lose their health insurance*. After all the work we
did this year to expand access to affordable, quality health care, we
can't let that happen.
The bill to protect adultBasic has been introduced and on Tuesday, May
4th 9:00 AM the House will hold hearings on it. We're hoping you can
help us pack that hearing with supporters!
