Health Equity

Our Position

Everyone deserves affordable high-quality health coverage and care regardless of the individual qualities that make us who we are, like our race, gender, disability, or health status. For years, health insurance providers have been committed to improving health equity and combating social factors, like food insecurity and poverty, that can have a negative impact on the health of the people and communities we serve.
