Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones to render decision following public input
Dave Jones, the California Insurance Commissioner, issued the following statement yesterday, following a public hearing on the proposed Anthem Cigna merger:
"I appreciate all those who attended today's hearing and provided valuable input regarding the proposed Anthem Cigna merger. This merger would create the nation's largest health insurer, which could have a significant impact on California's consumers, businesses, and health care marketplace. The public hearing process is an important step in considering all potential impacts, including competition, pricing and access to care. I am considering what is best for consumers and the overall marketplace. Anthem and Cigna bear the burden of demonstrating this proposed merger is in the best interest of the California consumers and the healthcare marketplace. The public record will remain open until April 1. I welcome additional comments from any and all members of the public. I will make my decision regarding the proposed merger of the nation's second and fifth largest health insurers in the coming weeks."
