LOS ANGELES(Business Wire)Created to provide a unified voice of concern for health care providers,patients, employers and caregivers from across the country, a new grassrootsmovement named FAIR () launched today. Troubled by a historical pattern of inadequate reimbursement and lack offinancial transparency by the nations largest health insurers, FAIR willadvocate for greater responsibility, transparency and fair financial treatmentfrom Americas health insurers - especially as political resolve builds toreform the nations health care system.

FAIR exists to impact the health reformdebate, hold health insurers accountable for their behavior, and most of allimprove the health care experience for patients who pay their premiums. FAIRs name reflects four key areas on which the movement will focus: Fair treatment of health care providers and care givers Advocacy on behalf of those who need an outlet to voice their concerns Information transparency regarding costs, profits and reimbursement Responsible payor behavior towards their members and providers"Those who need health care, pay the bills and care for patients desperatelyneed a stronger voice in the current debate," according to Michael Chee,spokesman for FAIR. "Restrictions on provider choices, too many bureaucraticroadblocks to care people need, and never-ending health insurance premiumincreases negatively impact equitable access to health care. Health insurersshould be more publicly accountable - we need them to do more and talk less outof both sides of their mouth. Among them, United HealthCare,Anthem/WellPoint, Aetna, Cigna, Humana, and Blue Cross Blue Shield plansnationally dictate where and how more than 150 million people receive healthcare.
"A fair managed care system is a highly critical, missing part of the evolvinghealth care reform agenda," said Joe Armendariz, trustee for FAIR. "Even as weget a glimpse into what the future may hold, there are better ways to work withwhat we have. Some of these issues wont be directly addressed by any state orfederal reform efforts, but FAIR will shed light on them and make sure theydont get lost in the debate." The very people who keep health insurers in business - patients, doctors andemployers - lack a platform to air their concerns in a cohesive and unifiedvoice regarding the value they get for their participation and cooperation inthe health care experience and system. FAIR has been established to become thisplatform and allow participants to question what true value is being provided bythe managed care companies who take and distribute their money. Even in these challenging economic times, the nations largest for-profit healthinsurers reported profits exceeding $6.5 billion for the first three quarters of2008, a healthy take by anyones measure.
