Blue Cross has just announced that it's immediately raising premiums charged to hundreds of thousands of individual customers by as much as 39%—even though their parent company's profits soared to a record $4.7 billion last year.
Even worse, the insurer has so far refused to explain why they're increasing their rates, and warned that they might do so again this year without warning.
The Obama administration is demanding answers from Anthem Blue Cross, and Congress has opened an investigation. But Blue Cross is only going to respond if this story becomes a major public-relations problem for them.
So it's time to turn up the heat. Let's join the growing call for an explanation and send a powerful public message that these abuses by Big Insurance are unacceptable.
A compiled petition with your individual comment will be presented to Anthem Blue Cross.
Full petition text:
"Anthem Blue Cross must provide a detailed explanation for their exorbitant rate increases, or else roll them back immediately."
