Blue Cross fights AGAINST Health Care Reform

Blue Cross is spending $2 million on a campaign here in California to derail healthcare reform in the Legislature — the same Blue Cross that makes more money here, and spends less on patients, than any other big insurer. Earlier this year, Blue Cross shipped almost a billion dollars in our healthcare dollars to its corporate parent in Indiana, despite hundreds of complaints about premium increases, benefit cuts, cancelled policies, and other dangerous business practices.

That staggering profit, made at the expense of healthcare consumers in California, has made Blue Cross the poster child for why we need health care reform.
