United for Health Reform

Welcome to United for Health Reform

As you know, the health care reform debate in Washington continues and has sparked a fierce debate. This Fall, Members of Congress will be attempting to finalize legislation to reform the health care system. We at UnitedHealth Group are supportive of bipartisan, comprehensive health care modernization that slows future health care cost growth, builds upon what is currently working, and ensures that those who like their health care plan can keep it.

As men and women who work every day to fulfill UnitedHealth Group’s mission of developing innovative products and services to help people live healthier lives, we have unique perspectives regarding the direction of health care modernization.  As you know, in partnership with physicians, hospitals, and other health care providers, our industry has been innovators in developing best practices that enable sustainable reform that will slow future health care cost growth while delivering quality medical coverage - these include efforts from far-reaching administrative reforms that slash paperwork to initiatives that reduce medical errors, all to ensure that doctors and hospitals can focus on patient care.  We have also offered ideas that government can undertake today regarding consumer protections and responsibilities that would guarantee coverage for all Americans, regardless of gender or health status, thereby making pre-existing conditions a thing of the past.  Working together with the President and Congress, we can help make these proposals a reality for all Americans, and you have a key role to play in making this happen.

On a regular basis, I hear from colleagues who share with pride their participation in this important debate, and I am pleased by how involved we have been.  So far this year, a number of us at UnitedHealth Group participated in the health care reform debate through actions such as writing a letter to or calling our Members of Congress.  We are now at a critical time in this significant debate, and I invite you to remain engaged in this process by taking a moment to share your opinions with your Members of Congress.

Thank you,

Gail Boudreaux
