Thoughts on Health Care Reform
- How does Reform Impact You in 2010?
In 2010, most people won't experience significant changes -- View our summaries and commentary. The major reforms are scheduled for 2014. - Our Perspective
We believe growth in health insurance costs must be slowed and we believe too many people fall though the cracks of the current system. For years we've favored extensive health insurance reform. However, in our view, U.S. citizens will be best served by legislation based on free market mechanisms, reasonable insurance regulation, tort reform and tax policy that encourages self reliance.We support repeal of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (ObamaCare), which is counterproductive in addressing the core issue of rising health insurance costs.

Look for Financial Strength
These are tough times in the health insurance industry, and we believe it's going to get worse. Don't take a chance on the stability of your health plan. Before you buy health insurance, check the insurance company's financial rating.
High unemployment, reduced personal incomes, increased government regulation and long-term industry trends favor the biggest and strongest health insurers. So we only recommend health insurance organizations with superior financial strength — like Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois, Anthem (Indiana) Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Humana, Aetna and UnitedHealthcare.
We could represent additional insurance companies and present a bigger menu of choices, but we're sticking with what we believe to be the safest options for Illinois and Indiana consumers.
