Frank Farry believes that we all have to do our part to make sure that we have the resources necessary to combat out of control energy costs, and that includes Harrisburg. Frank supports an "all of the above" energy program that includes biofuels, solar, wind, and other alternative energy sources. He also supports spending an additional $100 million from the political leadership accounts to help working families and seniors with the high cost of heating oil.

Health Care Goals Plan to Put Focus on the Uninsured and Give Consumers More Control

Focus on Disease Prevention and Wellness 

• Encourage insurers to focus on their wellness and prevention aspects within their insurance as well as requiring the local, state, and government plans to focus on this important component of driving down health care costs.

E-Technology Focus

• Frank believes tht we should offer financial incentives for Hospitals and other medical professionals forimplementing technology in medical record keeping.

Liability Reform

• Pennsylvania must reform its liability system so that medical professionals, consumers, and every stakeholder in the process can have predictability and stability in the system.  By passing commonsense liability reform, including a reasonable cap on non-economic damages, we can drive down health care costs and make it more affordable for consumers.

Republican Candidate Frank Farry released his goals for making health care more accessible and affordable while giving control to consumers.

"As I continue my door to door campaign, I am often reminded how important the cost of health care is to our working families," Farry said.  "I believe that this plan will help insure more Pennsylvanians  while at the same time keeping families in control of their healthcare."

The Farry Plan includes:

Investing in Health Care for Consumers

• Frank has proposed investing more money in tax credits to help working families afford the health care they need.  These tax credits would include for out of pocket medical expenses and to encourage utilization of Health SavingsAccounts (HSA).

Reform the Adult Basic Program

• Frank has proposed that we reform the Adult Basic program to make sure that we spend more of our dollars on actual consumer health care programs so that we can target the uninsured and less on bureaucracy.

Lower the Regulatory Burden to Make Health Care More Affordable

• Frank would allow insurance underwriters to offer scaled down policies that opt out of some of the more onerous regulations so that the chronically uninsured can buy the most basic coverage at an affordable price.

Put Incentives In Place To Make OBGYN Services More Available

• Pennsylvania faces a critical shortfall of OBGYN professionals, especially in Southeast Pennsylvania.  Frank would work to put into place incentives for OBGYN to practice in targeted areas of the state. 

Create a Patients Bill of Rights and Responsibilities

• Frank Farry believes that we need to have a clear set of expectations for both consumers and medical professionals.  He will work to craft a common sense Patients Bill of Rights and Responsibilities.

"I will use my experiences as Assistant Township Manager of Middletown Township to work for the people of the 142nd District in Harrisburg," Frank Farry said.  "We need a common sense plan that increases accessibility, affordability, and individual control over health care decisions while protecting taxpayers."

Frank Farry knows that rising property taxes are threatening the well-being of our citizens, especially our senior citizens and working families. Frank will be an advocate for the elimination of property taxes for senior citizens and he has a realistic plan to do it. Frank will also work to lower property taxes for working families. Frank will fight to change the educational funding formula in Harrisburg so that Neshaminy School District will get a fair share of state educational funding.

Frank Farry will go to Harrisburg and fight to grow our local economy and create jobs here in Bucks County. Holding down taxes while cutting red tape and regulations will help create jobs and allow investment in our community. Controlling health care costs and curbing out of control energy prices will benefit our businesses and neighborhoods as well. Frank understands the need for a thriving economy and will stand up for job creators and working families at the same time!

It's time for a representative that changes Harrisburg. Frank Farry's plan to change state government includes a call for an end to taxpayer-funded political television advertisements, a ban on legislative bonuses, and annual mandatory ethics seminars for legislators. Frank Farry's record is one of community service and a strong commitment to ethics. He will take his experience and values to Harrisburg.
