Insurance Chief Advocates Just One Regulator for Health Plans

He cites increasing problems with health care plans...perhaps some business intelligence software could help ease some of the reporting functions too...BD 

On Tuesday, Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner (R) told members of the California Medical Association that he thinks one regulator should have authority over the health care insurance industry, Capitol Weekly reports. Currently, the departments of Managed Health Care and Insurance share responsibility for overseeing the industry, with authority over different types of health plans.

Poizner said that unlike any other state, California has dual regulatory schemes and that the insurance department "has to step up here" because of increased problems with health plans.
