BOISE -- The Boise Chamber of Commerce wants to help make insurance more available to Idahoans.

The organization is offering health insurance to its members at up to a 22 percent discount.

The chamber president says bringing insurers, businesses and health care providers together made the discount possible.

"These health plans offered in conjunction with Blue Cross of Idaho and Regence Blue Shield of Idaho will give hundreds of businesses the opportunity to purchase health insurance," said Nancy Vannorsdel, Boise Metro Chamber President.

The chamber wants to sign up as many qualified businesses as possible.
