WellPoint believes health reform based on ideas and innovations, not ideology, will light the path to high-quality, affordable health care for all Americans. We know this because America’s private health care marketplace is already driving important progress to improve quality, safety and accessibility.

WellPoint believes Congress has a unique opportunity to pass bi-partisan reform that will help make coverage available and affordable for everyone who needs it. And we look forward to participating in these reform efforts.
