I'm surprised this isn't national news. The only "national" news source my Google search on this story found was Yahoo. Where's the NYT or WSJ or Reuters, etc..?
It's with a B. I realize the original article is gated, but here is a direct quote from it:
" Superior was one of the biggest losers in a proposed $116 billion Medicaid contract procurement overhaul announced a year ago. The company is among several health care providers that have sued, saying the state didn’t follow the law when it proposed shuffling the coverage of some 1.8 million low-income Texans — mostly women and children — by dumping or reducing the involvement of several long-time managed-care organizations in the program.
Superior, a for-profit national company, stands to lose up to $900 billion in contracts over the next dozen years, but the proposal — backed by state health executives but tangled up in the courts for now — also would have dropped three legacy insurance programs run by nonprofit children’s hospitals."
