Governor Tom Wolf wants all Pennsylvania children under the age of two to get tested for lead poisoning. Wolf asked the Department of Health yesterday to work with lawmakers to draft legislation requiring the mandatory testing.

Dr. Rachel Levine, Acting Secretary of Health and Physician General, says commercial insurance companies are required to offer the test for free under the Affordable Care Act.
