The
Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association is the national trade organization that links 38 independent regional health insurance companies in the United States (including Puerto Rico). Based in Chicago, Illinois, it was formed in the 1982 merger of the Blue Cross Association and the National Association of Blue Shield Plans. Both organizations trace their histories to health plans that were created around the same time in two different parts of the U.S. The evolution of managed health care in the United States is intimately linked to that of the
Blue Cross-Blue Shield plans. [

Introduction
Several policyholders have recently sued Blue Cross, accusing it of inappropriately "dumping" them after they had undergone expensive treatments.
The plaintiffs say they filled out their applications truthfully, but were dropped for failing to disclose their health histories. Patients have been left with thousands of dollars in medical bills and were then unable to obtain new coverage.
The lawsuits involve people who had individual, as opposed to group, coverage. Individual policies are subject to medical underwriting, meaning applicants must disclose their health histories to be accepted for coverage.
