Maryland Senators and Congressmen send letter to Johns Hopkins and Carefirst urging resolution.
Maryland- On Thursday Maryland Senators Chris Van Hollen and Ben Cardin along with a plethora of democratic congressmen sent a letter to the leadership of Johns Hopkins Medicine and Carefirst Bluecross Blueshield urging the two companies to find common ground and reach a contract resolution before the upcoming health insurance enrollment deadline.
This letter comes after negotiations fell through between the two companies causing Johns Hopkins to terminate their contract with Carefirst.
If no agreement is met thousands across Maryland could lose access to their healthcare provided by Johns Hopkins.
This could see Carefirst not being able to cover as much healthcare expenses, if any from the health care provider. Which could force many to seek their healthcare elsewhere or change their health insurance provider entirely.
