Opinion Piece Calls AP article on Covered California’s No-Bid Contracts a ‘Non-Story’
In an opinion piece, Ron Shinkman -- the publisher of Payers & Providers -- criticizes a recent Associated Press article that reported Covered California "gave away $184 million worth of no-bid contracts" without any evidence that those contracts were "linked to incompetent or incomplete performance." Shinkman concludes by calling on his colleagues "to tell the whole story rather than rely on a few free-floating facts that were never put into appropriate context."
