Blue Cross Blue Shield writes Obamacare repeal wish list

Published May 22, 2017 2:36pm ET



Blue Cross Blue Shield sent a message to its members Monday about changes it would like to see to the healthcare law, indicating that it would like to keep portions of Obamacare in place, while pushing for stronger mechanisms to get people to purchase coverage.

“In order to have a health insurance system in which everyone can obtain coverage regardless of their health status, there must be a balance among those enrolled that includes healthier individuals along with those who need significant care,” the company wrote. “To achieve this, we need strong incentives for younger, healthier people to obtain coverage and for everyone to stay covered year-round.”
