Rep. Susan Fisher seeks probe of NC Blue Cross lobbying efforts

The Progressive Pulse says: The Asheville Citizen-Times reports that Buncombe County lawmaker Susan Fisher has joined Ellie Kinnaird, Pricey Harrison, and the Pitt County commissioners in calling for an investigation into anti-health reform mailers and robocalls produced by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina.

The elected officials are calling for Attorney General Roy Copper and Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin to look at whether or not using premium dollars to fund a political campaign violates the company’s mission. They are also asking the AG to examine if the state’s “do not call” laws were violated.
