Our Proactive Healthcare Reform Agenda
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Nebraska advocates for comprehensive healthcare reform that would extend coverage to all Americans.
As part of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association of 39 independent, locally based and community-operated Blues Plans across the country, we have a stake in the reform debate on behalf of our 700,000-plus members statewide. As Congress and the Administration—as well as healthcare stakeholders—shape our future system, please join us in urging them to rein in costs, strengthen the quality of care and provide access to all Americans.
BCBSNE has been at the forefront of healthcare reform efforts on the national and local level, and we join our Association in releasing a five-point proposal—The Pathway to Covering America: Ensuring Quality Value and Access—that would build on the current employer-based healthcare system. We are also committed to ensuring that all Americans have guaranteed coverage without regard to health status.
More information about our positions appears below, including:
- An opinion editorial written by our President and CEO, Steve Martin, as published by the Omaha World Herald on Sunday, June 7
