Business Advocacy Issues and Politics

Most of our members are small businesses, and have to spend their time running their businesses. They do not have the time to pay close attention to everything going on in the political arena and engage their public officials directly. The Harrisburg Regional Chamber & CREDC's Government Relations program has been created to help you.

Take action today!  Visit the Chamber's advocacy website to contact your legislative members and to have your voice heard.

The Cost of Health Care in Pennsylvania

One of the most critical issues of concern to our membership is health care. We commend Gov. Rendell for bringing this important issue to the forefront for discussion with his health care proposal.

As we are actively engaged in this issue, we have developed the following diagram to help frame the issue of increasing health care costs from the Chamber's perspective. If these costs can be contained, then health care can become more affordable. We encourage you to look this over for your education in the ongoing discussion on how to contain the rising cost of health care.

If you would like more information or to become more involved, please join our Health Subcommittee or grassroots efforts by contacting Rachel Cornman at (717) 213-5041. Thank you.
