Thanks to Hamm for holding the line

Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota’s request for a 14.9 percent rate hike only goes to show their greed and how out of touch the company has become in today’s political climate in light of Barack Obama and John McCain promising affordable health care for every American.

With many Americans struggling to pay for the increasing costs of just about everything and with stagnant wages that don’t keep pace with the rate hikes that Blue Cross is seeking, I want to thank Insurance Commissioner Adam Hamm for rejecting their request.
