    blue shield of california, san francisco, has pledged to cap net revenue at 2% and refund $180 million, the sum the company's earnings exceeded that bar in 2010.

    bruce bodaken, the company's chairman and ceo, explained the unusual move as a way to make health insurance more affordable. “we know now that expanding access to coverage is not enough,” he said at a news conference.

    blue cross executives said they hope the move inspires other insurers and providers to consider a similar move. “everyone is going to need to do the kind of soul-searching we've done,” bodaken said.
