Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey has launched a new Web site supporting bipartisan health care reform, www.NJHealthReform.com.  The site is designed to educate the public on health care reform and to dispel claims that the health insurance industry opposes reform efforts.

“Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey supports bipartisan health care reform efforts that focus on slowing the growth of costs and improving the quality of care in addition to reducing the number of uninsured,” said William J. Marino, President and CEO of Horizon BCBSNJ.  “This new Web site provides New Jersey residents with accurate information about our views, important health care reform resources, and the ability to directly communicate with their Congressional representatives.  We hope this Web site will be helpful in encouraging thoughtful and cooperative dialogue so we don’t miss this opportunity to enact sensible health care reforms.”

NJHealthReform.com includes a video message from William J. Marino, President and CEO of Horizon BCBSNJ, as well as links to health care reform news, white papers, and videos.  The site also explains why Horizon BCBSNJ opposes the creation of a government-run health plan and provides a way for residents to contact their Congressional representatives.
