Consumer Alert segment! It has been brought to our attention that Blue Cross (the health insurance company) has been using misleading envelopes to mail their political lobbying letters to their members. The envelope says "Important Information About Your Plan Enclosed Open Immediately!. And the content of the letter has nothing to do with the health plan. It is instead a political lobbying attempt to steer health care reform to the best interests of this company. This is very wrong. Everyone who received such a letter should call Blue Cross and ask a credit to their accounts (you pick the amount!) for waisting their time with this misleading mailing.
