Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois (BCBS
IL)
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois
(BCBSIL) began during the Great Depression when a group of Chicago
business owners who took action in 1936 and pooled their savings
to launch a not-for-profit company called Hospital Service Corporation.
This company offered an affordable pre-paid hospital plan, which
was a revelation for the time. Eventually this company became
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois.
