Governor's Update
Dear ACP Colleagues,
Well, 2013 has arrived despite predictions to the contrary. The Supreme Court has found the ACA to be constitutional and our national elections have left essentially the same legislative leadership in place, so it appears that we will move forward with implementation of the ACA with continuing efforts through the budgetary process and amendments to decide what elements of the Act will remain in place. Our College has had “universal access to care,” as a major policy goal for more than two decades and the ACA is a major but imperfect attempt to move in that direction. One would expect over the coming decade that there will be “tinkering” and “tweaking” of the act. Physicians are as divided over the act as the rest of the population, but hopefully we can agree on the “triple aim” of better individual health, improved quality of the care we deliver, and reduction of the per capita cost of providing that care. Hopefully, if we can keep those goals in focus and the patient at the center of the discussion, we can arrive at a consensus of what is best for our patients and our country. Clearly, there are many hurdles to overcome as we move toward implementation of the act.
Membership continues to be a challenge. We have just under 2500 members in the Eastern region of our PA Chapter, which represents a slight growth, mainly due to growth in student membership. However, our dues paying membership, predominantly members and fellows, continues to show about a 1% loss per year. While not dramatic in scope, this is a trend we need to change. As I have noted in previous newsletters, I feel our best “marketing” is done on a personal, one-to-one outreach by each one of you. Do you know a colleague who is not a member? Have you reached out to him or her, and encouraged their consideration of becoming an ACP member? We need your help in this effort! Your Governor and Council members can invite and encourage, but it is your personal outreach and contact that will make the difference.
Do you have an interest in being more involved in your PA Chapter? There are many opportunities. A few include the Governors’ Advisory Council, Leadership Day, the monthly Health and Public Policy Committee telephone conference call with Drs. Arnie Eiser and Evan Pollock, and the chance to serve as an abstract reviewer and/or poster judge at our fall Resident and Student Poster competition. Don’t forget our upcoming annual meeting in San Francisco in April. If you attend, be sure to register with us to attend our Friday night reception.
Lastly, I want to thank you for what you do every day, as you treat your patients and their families, and as you teach our future practitioners. Thank you.
Dan Kimball
Governor, Eastern Region, PA-ACP

Advocacy Update: From the Capitol to the Clinic: Taking Lessons from Leadership Day Back Home
Capitol Update by John Nikoloff
Legislative Session
The 2013-2014 legislative session began on New Year’s Day with the swearing in of members. Under the PA Constitution, the General Assembly actually goes out of business at midnight November 30, and is not formally reconstituted until the first Tuesday in January. As this year’s session has just begun, no major legislation is pending. Committees have just been announced this week, and they are now setting initial agendas.
The Governor will be making his budget announcement on February 5, which is a target date for just about everything legislative, and following that budget speech and public announcement, the House and Senate will begin several weeks of public hearings on an agency by agency basis, to discuss proposed spending levels. This process is slated to run from mid-February until early March, at which time, the General Assembly will begin its real 2013 work.
Much of the legislative activity affecting internal medicine is focused on a few committees: Health, Insurance, Appropriations, and occasionally Judiciary, Human Services, and Aging and Youth. The newly announced members of these committees are available on line for the House here, and for the Senate here. Establishing grass roots relationships with the members of these committees and legislative leadership can be extremely helpful in our efforts to impact legislation.
2013-2014
The Governor’s 2013-2014 budget will include dealing with state pension costs, which are expected to be at least $500 million additional dollars annually. It’s unlikely that there will be that much money available without curtailing funding in some other areas, raising taxes or using bond revenues. Gov. Corbett continues to say he will veto any new tax increases. However, in finding funding for Transportation Infrastructure, ERG has been told wholesale oil/gas taxes and costs for licenses, registration will be increased. We do not expect similar increases to be visited on Pennsylvanians to support ongoing state funding programs.
Nurse Practitioners
As noted previously, the Nurse Practitioners plan to seek legislation that would give them independent practice and eliminate the need for a collaborative agreement with a physician. PA-ACP has opposed this expansion in APNs’ scope of practice in the past, but was told in December that the national ACP organization is in discussions with the national APN association to seek some common ground. The PA Academy of Family Physicians intends to fight any expansion as its priority issue in 2013, and has asked PA-ACP to join with them. Any political/policy decision on the part of ACP might best be made AFTER the legislation is introduced and when we can analyze the impact of that legislation
State Policy Insight
ERG is continuing a series of meetings with the Governor’s Policy and Legislative Offices, Insurance, Health, DPW and Aging Departments to ensure you are kept abreast of state plans relative to the ACA and other state programs. At the same time, we have begun a round of meetings with the chairs and staff of key committees looking toward maintaining the good relationships we have with those individuals and committees.
Tort Reform
PAMed has asked the PA-ACP to again sign on to support proactive legislation for tort reform in Pennsylvania. The Chapter has long supported changes to current law regarding venue shopping, medical professional liability, apology legislation, and caps on non-economic damages among other tort reform issues. These issues will be in legislation that will be introduced this session and PA-ACP will work with other organizations to support passage in the House and Senate. Governor Corbett has strongly supported these measures, and is expected to sign any which can get approval by the General Assembly.
Medicaid Expansion
The New Year has brought more pieces of the Affordable Care Act into law, and to date, the Governor has not announced a decision on whether the Commonwealth will expand Medicaid access to include those up to 133% of the FPL.
At the same time, the state has moved forward with plans to pay primary care physicians no less than 100 percent of Medicare payment rates for primary care services.
Governor Corbett says he's seeking more information from the federal Department of Health & Human Services before taking the plunge on Medicaid expansion. Matt O’Donnell, formerly director of policy for the Insurance Department, who was the lead staff person on Health Insurance Exchanges and ACA implementation, has taken a new job as Deputy Policy Secretary in the Governor’s Office. ERG met with Matt, and with the Governor’s other Policy Office staff in the last week, and was advised that the issue is almost strictly a matter of cost.
A report by Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured in late November estimated that moving to 133% of poverty as an entry point would cost Pennsylvania taxpayers an additional $2 billion dollars in the coming years – and estimates done for the Commonwealth by independent consultants have estimated that figure as high as $4 billion.
"What I don't know is how much it's going to cost, and when I start seeing that we're talking in the hundreds of millions of dollars, for us to get to hundreds of millions of dollars would require some new revenue source that we don't have right now," Corbett said.
The federal government will fully fund the Medicaid expansion for three years, and drop to 90 percent thereafter.
John Derrickson has sought additional information from the ACP Washington office to support our efforts to convince the state that it should expand Medicaid. We had previously argued that the savings in improved health and lower levels of ER utilization would help pay for the expansion, but the Kaiser report suggests otherwise.
According to the ACP, the latest comprehensive study shows that net state spending with uncompensated care costs considered is 1.5% higher with expansion from 2013-2022, for a 52% reduction in the number of uninsured in PA. The issue as always remains the cost.
States also get an enhanced reimbursement to improve outreach and enrollment systems regardless whether or not they choose to expand Medicaid coverage. The federal government will pay a 90% matching rate for eligibility system design and development until 2016 and then 75% rate thereafter. The intent is to help alleviate the administrative burden related to Medicaid expansion, interaction w/ health insurance exchange, etc.
Affordable Care Act Implementation
In December, the Governor announced that Pennsylvania would not establish a state-based Health Insurance Exchange, but rather allow the federal government to operate a federally-facilitated exchange for Pennsylvania. Insurance Commissioner Consedine had said that the cost to the state would have been between $30-50 million, depending on the requirements established by HHS. As the deadline approached for states to opt-in or out, HHS had not responded to Pennsylvania’s August inquiries about programs and costs for the Exchange if state-run.
At least 29 states have now opted to let the feds run the exchanges in 2014-2015. The option for a state run Exchange remains open for 2016 forward. Because of the large number of states opting to let the Exchange be federally administered, HHS has said there may be delays in implementation, which by law should be October 1.
With the decision on the Exchange, the Essential Health Benefits package required by law will essentially be dictated by the Department of Health and Human Services, although the state may still be able to expand on those EHBs. The House Insurance Committee is looking into that possibility and ERG is working with staff to ensure compliance with the ACA.

and
Health Fair attendees wait in line for their blood pressure screening.
The Commonwealth Medical College (TCMC) in conjunction with Scranton Primary Health Care Center and the National Health Service Corps held the first annual Steamtown Health Fair on October 14, 2012. This event was planned to celebrate Corps Community Day and National Primary Care Week. The fair is an annual event to promote the importance of interdisciplinary health care in fostering healthier people and stronger communities. The Pennsylvania Eastern Region Chapter of the ACP helped to sponsor the event.
Three ACP student members – Alexandra Belcher, Jessica Pozzuto, and Kristina Zimmerman, all second year TCMC students - co-founded the fair. Their main goal for the health fair was to make a free family friendly event that would engage the community in thinking and talking about health. “We wanted to showcase local organizations throughout the Greater Scranton area that promote well-being and healthy behaviors in the community. It was important for us to make the community aware of the vast resources available to them, most of which are free,” states Ms. Zimmerman, the Chapter President.
Over 230 people from all age ranges attended the health fair. Upon entering the fair, attendees were greeted and given a canvas bag with the health fair logo to carry all of the information they received from the 46 participating organizations. They were also entered to win the door prize of a free one-year gym membership. Besides the wealth of information from brochures on health and wellness education, long-term care planning, and educational enrichment opportunities, there were free flu vaccines, healthy snacks, and screenings including blood pressure, BMI, and glucose. TCMC hosted a booth entitled “Ask the Doctor” where attendees could learn basic information not otherwise provided at the fair. There was also a free yoga class, magic show, face painting, and a multitude of other children’s activities. In addition to providing information to its community, the health fair held a basket raffle to benefit the United Way and a bake sale to help end childhood hunger in America with Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry Campaign.
The co-founders of the First Annual Steamtown Health Fair would like to extend their sincerest gratitude to the ACP and Dr. Dan Kimball for generously contributing to the health fair and helping to make it a huge success.
