It is getting close to open enrollment and Blue Shield of CA and Sansum Clinic still have not come to a contract agreement. If you purchase your insurance through the individual market Blue Shield of CA will be your only insurance provider option in Santa Barbara county for 2018.

Let's tell Blue Shield of CA and Sansum Clinic to put patients first, and put a contract in place for 2018 NOW!
