Our Board has offered a comprehensive proposal that starts with us playing a leadership role in advocating for market reforms that ensure all Americans have access to high-quality, affordable health care coverage. We will continue to work with other stakeholders to achieve comprehensive health care reform, a goal which has eluded the country for more than a century."
