Apparently Blue Cross Blue Shield made a bunch of layoffs in 2007 and raised premiums on policy-holders. Michigan is a key battleground state in 2020. Do we want Trump and the GOP filling out the details on the content of his consultation during the general election? Does this possibility add any dimension to Buttigieg's defense of the role of private insurers?

Maybe it wasn't Blue Cross Blue Shield. Maybe he was doing something completely benign or even helpful for poor and working class people. He can tell us now, with the objectives of specific studies and client names. Or we can find out later. It's not going to stay secret.
