BCBSA Statement On Get Health Reform Right Coalition
December 10, 2009
WASHINGTON – The Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association issued the following statement regarding the Get Health Reform Right coalition:
Get Health Reform Right does not pay or incentivize people in any way to communicate to Congress their opposition to government-run healthcare. Under the terms of the contract with the advertising network, it explicitly states that no such incentivized ads may be used. Get Health Reform Right activities have been temporarily suspended until the source of these ads can be determined.
Get Health Reform Right is a project of organizations whose shared mission is to ensure consumers continue to have access to employer-sponsored health plans.
The Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association is a national federation of 39 independent, community-based and locally operated Blue Cross and Blue Shield companies that collectively provide healthcare coverage for nearly 100 million members - one-in-three Americans.
