Moving Forward

The Blue Cross and Blue Shield System calls on policymakers to make healthcare reform the nation's top domestic priority. We must immediately take action on two fronts: improve the quality and value of today's healthcare system and simultaneously expand health coverage to include everyone in America.

This will require a collective effort that depends on thoughtful, coordinated contributions and collaboration among all stakeholders. We believe our efforts need to be focused on five key areas:

  • encourage research on what works and put it into practice
  • change incentives to promote better care
  • empower consumers and providers with knowledge to make informed decisions
  • promote health and wellness
  • foster public/private coverage solutions to assure everyone in America has health insurance

As leaders in the local and national healthcare communities for more than 75 years, the Blue Cross and Blue Shield System looks forward to working with all stakeholders to ensure value and access to quality healthcare for all.

The time for action is now.
