Connecticut senator slams Anthem’s new policy and demands a reversal

Democratic Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy took to social media and shared his thoughts on the new policy and how it could affect his constituents.

“This is appalling. Saddling patients with thousands of dollars in surprise additional medical debt. And for what? Just to boost corporate profits? Reverse this decision immediately,” Murphy tweeted.

Anthem announced the new policy, which will take effect Feb. 1, in November, and excludes patients under 22 or maternity-related care.

The ASA urges those concerned about the insurer’s policy to contact their insurance commissioner or state legislators.
