The Department of Managed Health Care will be reviewing Anthem's proposed acquisition of Cigna. While Cigna's footprint is small in California, it continues the rapid consolidation of the health insurance industry.
In addition, Sen. Ben Allen's SB 888 is the latest bill to come in the aftermath of the horrific Aliso Canyon leak. The bill would require that all housing, relocation and emergency response costs resulting from the leak be paid from utility profits, and not passed along to ratepayers. The same requirement would apply to costs for mitigating the greenhouse gas emissions.
