A new health-related trade association is born in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling on the mammoth 2010 health care reform law.

Healthcare facilities and lenders have formed the Coalition for Healthcare Finance and CHFPAC, a new bi-partisan trade association and political action committee to support federal programs that enhance capital access.

“There are several trade groups in Washington that deal with healthcare, but none has CHF's singular focus on credit access,” said CHF board member Frank Romano.

Romano is also a board member for the American Health Care Association and owns and operates several healthcare facilities in Massachusetts. Romano has made contributions through Essex Group Management Corp., Rowley, Mass., to mainly Democratic candidates for Congress, as well as Rep. Olympia Snowe, the Maine Republican, according to Campaignmoney.com's database.
