Insurance crackdown halts nursing home policies in Iowa
Iowa insurers stop writing or renewing individual nursing home like care policies after Herbert Anderson of the Insurance Department interprets a new law. Group and Blue Cross Blue Shield plans are not affected. The move prompts angry letters, a rule request from the legislature, and possible lawsuits. The attorney general's opinion is awaited to clarify constitutionality and scope of the policy ban.
