50 Beale Street, San Francisco

Blue Shield is pushing through rate hikes for individual patients of up to 59%, even though the corporation is sitting on nearly $3 billion in excess revenue. Blue Shield’s price gouging– that prompts patients to skip needed medical care and forces families into bankruptcy due to medical bills — is a reminder of why insurance is not healthcare. It’s time to stand up to Blue Shield and the other insurance giants and continue the fight for guaranteed healthcare for all!
