BlueCross BlueShield of Florida

Vice President, Regulatory Affairs and Public Policy


The fight for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) rights is the next frontier of civil rights. I am an ally and advocate because I passionately believe in the 'radical' notion that GLBT persons are human beings who deserve to be treated with the same dignity and respect as heterosexuals.
