Stop BC/BS Arizona health insurance rates from climbing! Premiums have increased at a rate that leaves many Arizonans without coverage. This becomes extreme for those who are in the 55-65 age category. A self-employed male in Sedona, AZ, turning 60 this year has received a 21% increase for a plan with a $5000 deductible + $5000 more if hospitalized. This is a fact as this is a bill I pay!
Far too many individuals, families and self-employed people must spend a huge percentage of their income for coverage. Many simply cannot and suffer without medical care. People get more ill, and all to often, die without this much-needed care.
Please help to circulate this petition to put pressure on BLUE CROSS/BLUE SHIELD and OTHER CARRIERS to respond to us and to do the right thing. Many small business owners in our State cannot afford to insure even themselves, let alone employees!
Please consider signing this petition and then circulate it to your contacts in Arizona.
THANK YOU!
Why is this important?
BC/BS Arizona health insurance rates have increased at an alarming rate. Far too many Arizonans are left without coverage and without medical care. This has become epidemic in our State. Please read this petition and help to bring attention to this dire situation that, at best, results in untreated illness and lost work time; and, in worst-case scenarios, disability, bankruptcy, and even death.
