Thompson, Eshoo, propose Fair Access to Health Care Act

In an attempt to make ObamaCare more accessible to those living in more expensive parts of the county, Rep. Mike Thompson and another Bay Area Congress member on Friday, reintroduced the Fair Access to Health Care Act.

Thompson, who represents all or part of Solano, Napa, Contra Costa, Lake and Sonoma counties, and Anna Eshoo, whose 18th District is located between San Francisco, Santa Cruz and San Jose, introduced legislation to expand the eligibility for premium tax credits for people living in high-cost areas who purchase health insurance through the federal and state exchanges set up by the Affordable Care Act, also called OmabaCare.
