This move keeps real money in the pocketbooks of Americans and gives them real peace of mind. We look forward to the House passing and the president signing this bill into law and will continue to work with Congress to make health care more affordable for everyone.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"499\" src=\"https:\/\/distilinfo.com\/healthplan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/49.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5548\" srcset=\"https:\/\/distilinfo.com\/healthplan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/49.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/distilinfo.com\/healthplan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/49-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/distilinfo.com\/healthplan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/49-768x383.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>About Blue Cross Blue Shield Association<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/distilinfo.com\/healthplan\/blue-cross-blue-shield\/\">Blue Cross and Blue Shield<\/a> Association is a national federation of 34 independent, community-based and locally operated Blue Cross and Blue Shield companies that collectively provide health care coverage for one in three Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSource: <span style=\"color: #000000\"><a style=\"color: #000000\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/blue-cross-blue-shield-association-applauds-extension-of-affordable-care-act-tax-credits-301601191.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PR Newswire<\/a><\/span>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blue Cross Blue Shield Association President and CEO&nbsp;Kim Keck&nbsp;issued the following statement today in response to the passage of the&#8230; <a href=\"https:\/\/distilinfo.com\/healthplan\/blue-cross-blue-shield-association-applauds-extension-of-affordable-care-act-tax-credits\/\" style=\"white-space: nowrap;\">Continue Reading <i class=\"fas fa-long-arrow-alt-right\" style=\"vertical-align: middle;\"><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":5547,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[41,42,75],"class_list":{"0":"post-5545","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-distilinfo-originals","8":"tag-aca","9":"tag-affordable-care-act","10":"tag-blue-cross-blue-shield-association","11":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/distilinfo.com\/healthplan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5545"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/distilinfo.com\/healthplan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/distilinfo.com\/healthplan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/distilinfo.com\/healthplan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/distilinfo.com\/healthplan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5545"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/distilinfo.com\/healthplan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5545\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5593,"href":"https:\/\/distilinfo.com\/healthplan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5545\/revisions\/5593"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/distilinfo.com\/healthplan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5547"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/distilinfo.com\/healthplan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5545"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/distilinfo.com\/healthplan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5545"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/distilinfo.com\/healthplan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5545"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
