Counterpoint Pa with Aaron DiDonato - Heathcare in Pa after Obamacare Health Care for America Plan

This says that the health system that Corbett is creating to meet the requirements for Obamacare will be more expensive than it needs to be, and of course it contains the typical Republican attempt to impose religion on the citizens of Pa, a clause that forbids any plan from providing abortion coverage.
