This coalition is an important step toward improving the health of millions of Americans. Data standardization will allow our country to target solutions to improve outcomes & ultimately create a better system of health, where equitable care is an expectation, not an exception.

[Kim Keck, BCBSA CEO @BCBSACEO]

I am proud to share that @BCBSAssociation along w/@NMQF & 17 partner organizations announced the Data Equity Coalition to improve health outcomes through better, accurate, and representative data on race, ethnicity and language and sexual orientation and gender identification.

What I’m reading this week 📖>> maternal mortality in the United States has increased over the last few years, but there are solutions to this issue. What do some of those solutions look like? Really great piece from @MaraGay and @nytimes https://t.co/6uGeAnil7a

[Kim Keck, BCBSA CEO @BCBSACEO]

Cost should not be driven by location.

[Blue Cross Blue Shield Association @BCBSAssociation]

Should the same procedure cost more because it takes place in a different building? We don’t think so. BCBSA’s new report reveals a driver of high health care costs. Learn how location can determine what you pay: https://t.co/wDw4ffXVhS

[Kim Keck, BCBSA CEO @BCBSACEO]

May we all take a moment to remember and honor the lives lost on this day 22 years ago. #NeverForget

[Blue Cross Blue Shield Association @BCBSAssociation]

Never Forget.

[Kim Keck, BCBSA CEO @BCBSACEO]

@CDCgov Becoming a parent should be one of the most exciting times in one’s life… Treating patients with kindness, dignity and empathy IS maternal #HealthCare

[Kim Keck, BCBSA CEO @BCBSACEO]

Huge news! This is a solid step forward as we work to solve the maternal health crisis.

[Kim Keck, BCBSA CEO @BCBSACEO]

@chicagotribune It’s important we do everything we can to create systemic solutions to this deep-rooted issue. It’s inspiring to see the incredible and impactful work these women do for their community. Wow!

[Kim Keck, BCBSA CEO @BCBSACEO]

It is an issue that is getting a lot of traction on the Hill and it just makes sense to the average person. I was happy to chat with @ntepper90 from @modrnhealthcr about some of the #HealthCareAffordability solutions from @BCBSAssociation https://t.co/M5MNRg7M0n

[Kim Keck, BCBSA CEO @BCBSACEO]

People shouldn’t be asked to pay more for a health care service just because it’s in a different place. That’s why we’re advocating for commonsense solutions.

[Blue Cross Blue Shield Association @BCBSAssociation]

“It's getting a ton of traction on the Hill, and we'll see where it lands.” Read more about our commonsense solutions to make health care more affordable in this @modrnhealthcr interview with our CEO: https://t.co/UQEbZ6tGQY

[KFF Health News @KFFHealthNews]

It's becoming ever more dangerous to give birth in America, especially for Black women, older women and those living in rural areas, according to a pair of new reports from March of Dimes and Milken Institute.

“Access to maternal … care is evaporating in much of the country” creates a vivid image of #MaternalHealth in the U.S. and the rising difficulty for birthing parents to find care. By expanding access to doulas + care partners, we can reverse this worrying trend. @MarchofDimes

[Alice Miranda Ollstein @AliceOllstein]

‘It’s a crisis’: New data from @MarchofDimes shows that maternal health care is disappearing for millions right as births are expected to rise post-Roe, threatening to make the country's already dismal maternal mortality rate even worse.
