Change with a capital "C": Blue Cross & Blue Shield CEO Waves Goodbye

Cleve Killingsworth, the CEO and Chairman of the Board for Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Massachusetts, abruptly resigned today.

I guess the pull to write a few books and work on healthcare reform from the "inside" was too strong to keep him in Massachusetts.

Maybe now, City Manager Michael O'Brien and Crew can address Virginia Ryan and the Coalition of Worcester Retirees' Section 19?

Based upon this article, Michael O'Brien isn't budging one bit.


The Coalition of Worcester Retirees is still PUSHING hard for CHANGE.

UPDATE ON SECTION 19

The presentation on Section 19 to the City Council is in the works according to Cheryl Delsignore, of the EAW (teacher’s union) and the unions will be splitting the cost of the presentation to the City Council. Apparently Cheryl is awaiting a survey from the city that she must have for the presentation by Boston Benefits Partners (BBP). Our coalition will be making a small donation due to the generosity of those of you who sent me checks to pay for the TV ad.

You will be notified when this presentation will occur and hopefully you will recognize the need to be present at this presentation. Actually bring your friends and family members. It’s what the city council understands best. A CROWD.
