Elected officials in Connecticut and New York both said they stepped in Thursday to intervene with Anthem’s new plan before the company announced the reversal. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said on X, formerly known as Twitter, the change was “outrageous” and she would “make sure New Yorkers are protected.” Connecticut’s comptroller Sean Scanlon said his office had already reached out to Anthem and the policy would “no longer be going into effect here in Connecticut.” Scanlon shared that update hours before Anthem announced the reversal.
So a could politicians managed to block it in just their states, but the company reversed it for everyone… And you think that somehow refutes what I said?
Well that’s settled then, politicians would never lie to provide cover for companies. Nothing else that happened that week could have explained it, the government has done this so often (without even announcing it to the people they want votes from) that this is for sure the only explanation.

Yes… Anthem is a subsidiary of BCBS that operates geographically and doesn’t compete with other BCBS subsidiary…
So literally yes. If they were blocked in their few geo locations… Literally yes.
Edit: They service 8 states. When your biggest state says “fuck no” to your new policy… you reevaluate or roll-back (or go to lawsuit).
