Fordice began the approaching republican-wave when he took Musgrove to the wood shed.

Blackwell’s bill is intended to help the Commissioner accomplish that mission."<br /><br />What you fail to say, as you run your dribble, that State law does NOT designate the Commissioner as the regulator over insurance providers of HOSPITAL/MEDICAL insurance. That was the purpose and reason for this new statute.<br /><br />It must be nice for you to live in your world where you can pontificate on things like this, through out a few lines that are factual - as long as you don't include the details - in support of what your position on the issue is.<br /><br />Whether the Insurance Commissioner SHOULD be allowed to be the regulator of these companies was the basis for this law. Is it a good idea? Maybe - might depend on the Commissioner (which will not be Chaney forever, but I digress.) <br /><br />But to throw out this line as a fact to support your position is a great example of absolute worthless "journalism" - hell, you might as well apply to be the Executive Editor of Mississippi Today with this attitude, trying to claim your 'journalism' while using your 750 words to sell your snake oil.<br /><br />I have mixed feelings about this bill; kinda agree with Chaney, kinda agree with Reeves. But I have no problem disagreeing with your faunting over Chaney, just as you did following his Rotary speech while he proclaimed to protect your state health insurance as a former state employee. <br /><br />Surely you can be just a little more straight forward with your writing than this, and not try to claim the office has this authority when the reason for the bill was to GIVE him the authority.<br /><br />But then again, we all realize that the only reason for your writing this weekly column was to try to take ONE MORE shot at Tate, an individual you would do anything and everything you could possibly find to do to demean.<br /><br />You failed this time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-71984425115584992492023-03-19T17:35:05.002-05:002023-03-19T17:35:05.002-05:00It’s painful watching the bright minds of the Repu...It’s painful watching the bright minds of the Republican Party that have kept this state is last place for my entire life.

If it helps campaign donor, all for bureaucracy, if it hurts them, then to hell with bureaucratic control! The “small/limited government” and “freedom” bs the republicans spew as talking points are only hot air to whip the ignorant masses into a frenzy to get to to overlook what’s actually happening.<br /><br />Doesn’t matter if this is plastered on every billboard and run on every tv commercial, the average American is either too stupid or too lazy to understand (or simply doesn’t care) what’s going on.

I doubt that office has the authority to interfere with contractual relations between two different carriers, such as BCBS MS and BCBS TN. <br /><br />Some legislators thought it was a good idea to let a government department regulate contracts between parties, but that does not mean the Constitutional provision that prohibits that is just a "bad idea." The Governor and legislators are all sworn into office with a vow to follow the Constitution of the State of Mississippi. Come to think if it, so is the Insurnace Commissioner.
