Health care reform – What we believe
Humana believes all Americans deserve affordable, quality health care coverage.
Our company has said for a long time that we must enact comprehensive, bipartisan reform that guarantees coverage, with everyone participating in the system, and that makes pre-existing conditions a thing of the past.
The recently passed Senate bill contains many positive, important reforms that we support but it also contains provisions that concern us. Some provisions may result in much higher costs for young adults as well as seniors and disabled Americans who get their Medicare through a Medicare Advantage plan.
Humana also believes that more needs to be done to control the underlying cause of our health care crisis – rising health care costs.
Humana remains very involved in the national health care reform discussion, as the U.S. Senate considers the House-passed reconciliation bill. We continue to advocate for a strong Medicare Advantage program to allow seniors to have choices – including comprehensive, affordable coverage options that include the latest in wellness, prevention, care coordination and disease management programs.
