Sort of surprised BCBSA doesn't seem to do anything when a licensee runs amok like this. As I understand it, they can revoke the license. Then again maybe most of the BCBS companies have similar business models. Still could get rid of the worst offender, make an example.

Are you genuinely surprised?

We’ve legalized bribery. Politicians are genuinely very cheap to buy.

It doesn’t matter who you vote for. Everyone has a price.

The supreme court has ruled it's not a bribe if it's a gratuity after the fact.
