State Must Enforce Fine Against Anthem Blue Cross
California health insurance regulators need to enforce the $1 million fine it levied in March 2007 against Anthem Blue Cross for "routinely rescinding health insurance policies in violation of state law," according to an editorial. It adds, "It's outrageous enough when an insurer cancels policies at its whim, but when a state regulatory system lacks the backbone to enforce its own laws, California might as well turn over the keys to the insurance company."
