By signing our online petition below, you are pledging the following:
I am troubled by reports that CareFirst spends only one or two million dollars each year in the DC-area on health-related charitable activities when it has the ability and obligation to spend 50 to 100 times that much without hurting the company's competitive viability. I believe CareFirst can and should be using more of its profits and surplus to address healthcare needs in the National Capital area and I believe it should begin doing so immediately.

CareFirst is not meeting its charitable obligation to serve the healthcare needs of citizens of the National Capital area. A recent report issued by the DC Appleseed Center shows that the DC-based affiliate of CareFirst could and should spend at least $50 to $100 million per year on charitable activities in the DC-area. The company currently spends only approximately $1 million per year on such activities. At a hearing held on March 24, 2005, GHMSI insisted that it has no legal obligation to engage in community benefit activities at all.

Insurance Commissioner Lawrence Mirel issued a report on GHMSI's charitable obligations in the National Capital area. Click here to read the Commissioner's report.
