Quick note here:

California regulators admitted Thursday that for more than a year they didn't even try to enforce a million-dollar fine against health insurer Anthem Blue Cross because it feared they would be outgunned in court.

In early 2007, the Department of Managed Health Care pledged to fine the state's largest insurer for "routinely rescinding health insurance policies in violation of state law."

But they never did.

That's from this AP article. Basically, Anthem/Blue Cross has so many violations where they decided not to honor an insurance contract that the state decided pursuing them was hopeless. There were almost 1,800 violations in the last four years, and the state is afraid they'd all be tied up in court forever.

I'd put this down as one more reason why I support universal health care.
