THE LETTER TO DECISION-MAKERS.  Please use this letter or personalize it to tell your

own story. Want to paste additional info?

 I thank Commissioner Larsen for his decision supporting the denial of the CareFirst attempt to convert to a non-profit. I also thank CareFirst for giving up the bid to convert to seek a for-profit merger. We are free of the threat of a conversion and all the ills that promised. I urge the Maryland legislature to take up a thorough study and pursuit of best practices that will reform the administration of CareFirst Blue Cross. Among the many problems plaguing the organization are those that have diverted it from its mission of serving the most vulnerable and small policy holders. The rates that CareFirst are charging are unjust. Please, I ask, all officials in Maryland, D.C. and Delaware, but especially the Maryland legislature will join in the reform of CareFirst. CareFirst officials, please cooperate in the review of your organization for the sake of the public good. Read more about the issue of the conversion on the website www.carefirstwatch.org and www.healthcarenowdc.org. Thank you.
