A settlement between Blue Cross/Blue Shield and the Missouri Attorney General may not be approved by a Cole County judge. Kyle Elfrink has the story from Jefferson City.
The proposed settlement would set up a multi-million dollar health care foundation for the poor and uninsured. But, Judge Thomas Brown of Cole County, is expected to rule against the proposal in the next few weeks. Sandra VanTrese, Executive VP of Blue Cross/Blue Shield, says Brown will be making a mistake if he rejects the settlement ...
If approved, the foundation will provide 10 to 15 million dollars per year to pay for health care for those in need.
