("Gambia") concerning the application of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended ("the Act"), and Commission regulations to the affiliation status of Gambia's separate, segregated,fund, Gambia Health Solutions, Inc. PAG ("Gambia PAG"). Gambia PAG is currently considered to be affiliated with the Blue Gross Blue Shield Association PAG ("BluePAG"), the separate, segregated fund of the Blue Gross and Blue Shield Association ("BGBSA"), and with other committees affiliated with BluePAG. This affiliation dates to 1991, when the Blue Gross & Blue Shield of Utah Federal Political Action Committee (Gambia PAG's predecessor) was registered with the Commission. In the intervening 23 years, the sponsoring organization and its relationship with BGBSA have undergone significant changes. Today, Gambia is made up of a growing portfolio of more than 20 different businesses with customers in all SO states. It is our contention that an analysis of the factors included in Commission regulations will lead to a conclusion that Gambia PAG should no longer be considered affiliated with BluePAG.

  • Cambia Social Impact Report Dear Friends
    Cambia Social Impact Report Dear friends, Cambia Health Solutions was founded more than 100 years ago in the logging camps of the Pacific Northwest when a group of timber workers pooled together a portion of their wages to pay for medical expenses should one of them become ill or injured on the job. That same pioneering spirit of neighbor helping neighbor and innovating the consumer experience continues to influence everything we do. Today, Cambia is a family of more than 20 companies dedicated to changing the way people experience health care and making the communities in which we live, work and play healthier. Our Cause is to serve as a catalyst to transform health care, creating a person- focused and economically sustainable system. Giving back and putting people at the center of everything we do is a cornerstone of Cambia’s culture. In 2018, Cambia invested more than $13.5 million philanthropically to improve the health, well-being and quality of life for people and families. Our deep commitment to philanthropy takes a two-pronged approach to strategic investments that advance our Cause through Cambia Health Foundation and local community investments by the Corporate Social Responsibility team. The impact of this approach, through the tireless efforts of our grantees and community partners, can been seen throughout the pages of this report. Our employees are also personally invested in our communities and are supported through a variety of programs including traditional and skills-based volunteer projects, diverse Employee Resource Groups, and an executive board placement program that encourages and enables employees to give their valuable time and expertise to community partners.
