Judge sends Blue Cross sale back to commissioner
A Shawnee County judge overturned an order blocking the sale of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas to Anthem Insurance, sending the proposal back for review. The judge ruled that projected premium increases were speculative and not sufficient to deny the acquisition, noting the commissioner cannot base action on projected rates or surplus alone. Anthem, a publicly traded firm, operates Blue Cross plans in eight states and covers about 7.8 million people.
