BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina

Health Care Reform Legislation

March 25, 2010

On March 23, President Obama signed the health care reform bill into law. While the bill will extend coverage to millions of Americans, there are still significant questions about how reform will affect health insurers, health plan members and the agents who support us.

BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina is closely following the legislation as it begins to take effect. We are confident that, although the new law will bring changes for our company and our agents, BlueCross is well positioned to adapt to these changes and to remain the health insurance carrier of choice in South Carolina.

View the complete health care reform legislation:

• H.R. 3590 The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
• H.R. 4872 Reconciliation Bill

We've included a timeline created by America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) that shows requirements and impacts based on the House Reconciliation Bill.

We will continue to keep you advised of future developments.
