HARRISBURG – Today, state Rep. Lawrence Curry joined fellow House Democrats, as well as citizens served by adultBasic and a physician representative to call on Gov. Tom Corbett not to pull the plug on this insurance program for low-income Pennsylvania workers.

"It is not out of the realm of possibilities that Pennsylvanians will die if we don't keep adultBasic afloat. Such horrific results happened in Arizona when that state allowed its low-cost insurance for low-income people to end," said Curry, D-Montgomery/Phila.

You don’t have to tell me that Harrisburg is broken. Unfortunately politicians all around us, including my opponent, would rather point fingers and assign blame than do the hard work it takes to bring real change.

I’ve been fighting to solve problems big and small my whole life - if it matters to one family in our community then it matters to me.

With your vote on November 2nd, I’ll continue to be your advocate and your voice.
