BC/BS Thinks The Commissioner's Request Is BS

I don't know if folks recall: North Dakota was the ONLY state in which the insurance commissioner ASKED insurance companies to "roll back" their health care policies. Ha.

The early list (in order in which the announcements were made):

• Washington State: NO (decision announced two hours after President Obama's decision)
• Massachusetts: NO
• Minnesota: NO 
• New York State: NO
• California: NO
• North Dakota: YES (but premiums will likely increase for previous policy) 

BC/BS thinks the commissioner's request is BS.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota will not extend coverage for health insurance plans it will discontinue because of new standards under the Affordable Care Act.

President Barack Obama decided to allow health insurers to extend coverage after many customers complained that they were losing coverage they wanted to maintain.

North Dakota Insurance Commissioner Adam Hamm recently asked insurers to consider extending coverage for the discontinued policies to give customers the option of keeping the policies.
