Blue Shield To Delay Benefits Decision Until SCOTUS Ruling

Blue Shield of California said it would not announce a decision to continue or stop offering some of the federal health reform law's popular provisions until after the U.S. Supreme Court has issued its ruling on the law. Although three large insurers recently announced they would continue to offer the provisions regardless of how the court rules on the law, Blue Shield said it did not want to weaken the argument to uphold the law.
