I know one of the Change Healthcare founders, and have watched this company grow from a struggling small company with one product to the innovative company they are today.

"No" says the man. "I'm a baffoon, and I absolutely refuse to be associated with insurance salesmen!"

The Courts seem to get these things right usually even if on appeal. But, I hope we're not faced with a lobby from the government's sweetheart; BCBS as AG seems sensitive to powerful lobbies. But, if counsels are skilled UHC s/b just fine regardless.
