AHIP Chief Defends Insurers’ Study on Health Reform Bill
In an opinion piece, Karen Ignagni, president and CEO of America's Health Insurance Plans, wrote that health insurers remain supportive of health care reform efforts, despite criticism following the release of an AHIP-commissioned study that said the Senate Finance Committee's plan would result in higher costs. Ignagni called on Congress to strengthen the requirement for individuals to obtain coverage.
