Lecture A Talk by Bruce Bodaken, chairman, president and CEO, Blue Shield of California Distinguished Visiting Scholar, Fall 2009 Meet the speaker reception, Arts & Sciences Foyer 5-5:30 p.m. Passionate about Blue Shield’s not-for-profit mission, Bruce Bodaken, in 2002, became the first health plan CEO to offer a specific proposal to cover the uninsured. He will discuss his proposal for universal coverage based on shared responsibility, a plan that is similar to coverage expansion legislation enacted in Massachusetts in 2006, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 2007 proposal, and President Obama’s health reform plan. A native of Iowa, Bodaken doesn’t fit the typical profile of a health plan CEO. He earned a masters degree and taught philosophy at the college level before embarking on a career in health care. Blue Shield is a 3.4 million member not-for-profit health plan that serves the commercial, individual and government markets in California.
