The CEO of Capital BlueCross testified before a Pennsylvania Senate panel Wednesday and told legislators that approval of the merger between Independence Blue Cross and Highmark could "forever close the door on a competitive statewide health-insurance marketplace."
Anita M. Smith appealed to the senators not to permit the merger of the two nonprofit health insurance giants without conditions that might permit her Camp Hill-based insurer to compete statewide using the Blue brand.
