Interesting. The CA Insurance Commission (Garemendi) fought the Blue Cross - Anthem Merger. They were afraid that less competition would foster greed and corruption. They were right, but no fines yet.
On the other hand the CA DMHC who fined Blue Cross $1M was for the merger. On their website they did "not hold back" with their survey (see website) by stating they broke state law in ALL 90 random cases. Maybe they feel guilty?
