Attention fellow regionals:
The Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association has invited RRA members to a briefing with Alissa Fox, the association’s senior vice president and top lobbyist. Fox will offer an overview of today’s healthcare system - how it works and how it doesn’t - and various reform proposals.
For reporters who haven’t been closely covering the debate, this is a good chance to get up to speed with insights from a central player. Fox is part of Ted Kennedy’s stakeholder group, and the Health Reform Dialogue group. The BCBSA’s president and CEO, Scott Serota, was among the participants at the recent White House health summit.
One in three Americans has coverage through the 39 Blue Cross and Blue Shield companies - 102 million, more than any other insurer. BCBS companies operate in every ZIP code.
Where: BCBSA office, 1310 G Street, NW
When: Monday, March 30, 10 a.m. to 11 a.m.
What: briefing plus coffee, bagels, muffins etc.
If you plan to attend, please RSVP to: president@rra.org
