The Governor's proposal to turn Blue Cross into a non-profit mutual insurance company was not the Blues' idea, says Blue Cross government affairs director Andy Hetzel, who talks about the idea's origins during today's podcast. What's wrong with doing an audit beforehand? What if the federal government erases Obamacare down the road? Hetzel answers those questions.
