A large health insurer says blending public and private programs is the best way to help the uninsured.
WellPoint Inc., Indianapolis, is suggesting that states expand access to health coverage for children by subsidizing coverage for families that earn up to 3 times the federal level, or about $60,000 a year for a family of 4.
WellPoint also is proposing to:
- Offer access to subsidized state health care program for parents who earn up to 200% of the federal poverty level.
