eHealth Views Passage of House Health Reform Bill as "Historic Step Toward Connecting All Americans to Coverage"

"I commend Speaker Pelosi, Ways and Means Committee Chairman Rangel, Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Waxman, Education and Labor Committee Chairman Miller, lead author Rep. John Dingell and their House colleagues for advancing legislation with the goal of connecting all Americans to coverage. House passage of this legislation is an important step towards reform and achieving the goal of covering the uninsured, an objective that has been a priority for our company from its inception.

"eHealth's experience over the past decade in connecting nearly two million Americans to coverage through our national online marketplace proves that exchanges do work. By employing multiple paths to coverage, including exchanges, and online solutions like ours, we can optimize enrollment and provide the uninsured with the most choices and flexibility.

"The technologies that have been developed by private sector players, such as eHealth, are key to ensuring Americans find and receive the coverage this legislation would mandate.

"eHealth looks forward to being an active partner in implementing meaningful health reform legislation, and is poised and ready to connect the uninsured to coverage quickly."
