User:MaryGaulke/sandbox/America's Health Insurance Plans requests

Hi! As noted above, I am a COI editor for AHIP, requesting some updates to this article:

Lead

 * Remove – this has been in place for seven years now. As  noted above, the flag was placed in response to the article content at the time, which contained extensive coverage of the debate around healthcare reform that wasn't totally germane to the article. Most of this content has since been removed, and I believe my requests below will help address any outstanding POV issues.


 * The organization is now known simply as AHIP. I think it may make sense to rename (move) this article accordingly, perhaps to AHIP (trade association) since AHIP is occupied. Also, in the infobox, update the "name" parameter to "AHIP" and update "|abbreviation = AHIP" to "|formerly = America's Health Insurance Plans ".

History

 * The third paragraph strikes me as WP:UNDUE in length given there is just one source cited. It may make sense to delete the last sentence: "For instance, an ABC News poll in June 2009 about the cost of health insurance premiums found 23 percent were very satisfied, but a combined 75 percent of consumers were somewhat satisfied, somewhat dissatisfied or very dissatisfied (31 percent somewhat satisfied, 19 percent somewhat dissatisfied and 25 percent very dissatisfied)." Also, correct the spelling of "Politifact" in the second sentence.


 * After
 * AHIP gave more than $100 million to help fund the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's 2009 and 2010 efforts to defeat President Obama's signature health care reform law.
 * add:
 * Later, in 2021, AHIP voiced public support for expanding the Affordable Care Act to help the United States reach universal healthcare coverage.


 * After
 * In 2015, two major American health insurance companies, UnitedHealth and Aetna, left the association; in 2017 a third large insurance company, Humana, also left.
 * add:
 * Humana and Aetna parent CVS Health subsequently rejoined AHIP, and Humana CEO Bruce Broussard was named AHIP board chairman in 2020. CVS Health President and CEO Karen S. Lynch joined the AHIP board in 2021.


 * The Partnership for America’s Health Care Future is mentioned twice; since these mentions are redundant of each other, I think it makes sense to delete one. I suggest the first ("It was a co-founder of the Partnership for America’s Health Care Future in 2018."), since it does not have a source cited.


 * Add to end of section:
 * AHIP's board of directors issued a statement at the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic voluntarily agreeing to cover diagnostic COVID-19 tests at no cost to members.


 * AHIP and the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association launched the Vaccine Community Connectors program in March 2021 to help provide COVID-19 vaccination to seniors over the age of 65 in at-risk and underserved communities. The program helped vaccinate more than 2 million seniors in its first 100 days.


 * In June 2021, AHIP announced an updated mission and branding that included no longer using the full "America's Health Insurance Plans" title, instead going simply by "AHIP".

I appreciate your help and your time. Thank you!
