OK, so nobody who Actually Lives In Maine thought the Dirigo Health Plan was going to happen. Call me a dreamer, I had at least hoped for one (1) other insurance company to bid the contract, in order to kick the complacency outta Anthem BC/BS. Hah. Hah! I say!

The state's largest health insurer is the only company willing to provide coverage for the state's Dirigo Health program, but says it needs more time to prepare for the undertaking.

Well, you know that old saying: "God is an iron."

I've always wondered about the mechanics by which Anthem bought out BC/BS, anyway. How do you sell a non-profit? Where are the assets, other than the subscribers? And where does the money go?

Oh, well, I have Medicare to sustain me in another few years. And this deed to a bridge somewhere in Brooklyn. The one in New York, that is.
