A message from Blue Shield of CA about Health Care Reform
March 23, 2011
Health Reform turns one. One year ago today, President Obama marked a major milestone by signing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. From that moment, health reform became a reality for Californians.
Depending on their coverage, many Californians are now receiving:
Extended dependent coverage up to age 26
No more pre-existing condition exclusions for enrollees under age 19
No more annual and lifetime dollar limits on essential benefits
No more member cost-sharing on preventive services
And more
For the last year, we've been proud to implement these heath reform changes as they align with our mission to ensure coverage for all Californians.
And we are committed to keeping you informed of additional changes on the horizon as we know more - uniform explanation of coverage, and, of course, the Exchanges.
Finally, we recognize this past year has been quite a ride and want to thank you for your continued support and cooperation in helping make reform a reality.
