Commissioner Jonesrsquo statement on revocation of Blue Shieldrsquos tax-exempt status

SACRAMENTO Calif ndash Cali-fornia Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones made the follow-ing statement March 18 2015 in response to the Franchise Tax Boardrsquos decision to revoke Blue Shield of Californiarsquos tax-exempt statusldquoThe Franchise Tax Board deci-sion to terminate Blue Shieldrsquos tax-exempt status confirms what I have said for years ndash that Blue Shield charges excessive rates and acts like a for-profit health insurerrdquo Blue Shield is also dodging the payment of premium taxes by taking advantage of a legal loophole that allows Blue Shield

to move its health insurance products from Department of Insurance regulation to Depart-ment of Managed Health Care regulationldquoThe Department of Insurance collects premium taxes from all for-profit and non-profit health insurers Blue Shield has moved most of its health insurance policies over to Department of Managed Health Care to dodge my Departmentrsquos strong consumer protection regulation and our collection of premium taxes We need to pass AB 1434 by Assemblymember Kevin McCarty to close the loophole that allows Blue Shield to move

its health insurance products to the Department of Managed Health Care to avoid the strong consumer protection oversight of the Department of Insurance and avoid paying premium taxesrdquo he addedldquoCurrently the Blue Shield loophole costs the state $100 million in premium taxes annu-ally As a tax-exempt company with surplus of $42 billion Blue Shield was able to accumulate an enormous amount of money on which it did not pay state taxes by evading the tax on the premiums it collectsrdquo

The California building code and a plethora of related regula-tions has grown from a concise single little handbook to stacks of manuals over the past 35 plus years Dealing with the volume and navigating which codes affect which application has become a rather daunting task Longtime friend to the Sacra-mento Claims Association and noted forensic engineer Michael OConnor presented a two-hour continuing education accredited course at the April 16 2015 lun-cheon gathering of the SCA deal-ing with Code Updates The first hour included a buffet lunch with the second hour left open as optional for those not needing the CE credits SCA board members were pleasantly surprised to see that nearly every-one stayed for the full two-hour course OConnorrsquos concise but thorough presentation captivated the crowd making fascinating subject mat-ter that could easily have been a snoozer His range of topics and in-depth discussion of changes in building codes flood regulations electrical and much more had the crowd engaged from start to finish

Congratulations to April 5050 raffle winner Jon Dailey Senior Claims Investigator for PGampE
