After working 25 years for health care reform I am still shocked by the underhanded practice of the for-profit health insurance industry. If you came across an organization called “Coalition for Responsible Healthcare Reform,” what would you expect? Even after working all these years on reform I would expect a coalition ready to do the right thing and represent reform that would do away with the injustice of the American health care system; something that would stop the tragedy of going bankrupt because of health care bills. But instead the coalition called “Coalition for Responsible Healthcare Reform” is misleading and will do nothing of the sort.
Blue Cross of California, the largest health insurer in California, has launched a campaign opposing health care proposals that would require insurers to sell policies to all residents, regardless of health status. This is an obvious diversion away from responsible health care reform that would eliminate the uninsured and under-insured (something that doesn't exist in other countries).
