"Blue Shield of California says its aim is "to ensure all Californians have access to high-quality health care at an affordable price" - and apparently that includes spending no less than $2.5 million for a luxury box at Levi's Stadium."
"Given that Blue Shield is a not-for-profit organization, one might wonder how such high-rolling fandom fits into its mission statement."
'"The primary purpose (of the luxury box) is to interact socially with some of our larger membership groups," said Blue Shield spokesman Sean Barry.'"
He declined to name any of Blue Shield's clients who will be feted at the suite - located in the tower on the stadium's west side - or say how much the health insurer is actually spending for it.
"We can tell you, however, that suites in that location are priced at between $250,000 and $400,000 a year and require a 10- or 20-year commitment. That puts the price at anywhere from $2.5 million to $8 million."
I wonder if Blue Shield has death panels created to pay for this expenditure?
