 Well, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina will not continue a legal fight to retain the contract to administer the state's health insurance plan. Blue Cross was fighting the award of the contract for the management of the health plan for state workers, teachers, and retirees to Aetna. State Treasurer Dale Falwell, whose department oversees the plan, had said the decision from an administrative law judge showed the process clearly revealed that Aetna's bid was superior. In a statement, a Blue Cross spokesperson stated, while they are disappointed with the ruling, they will not appeal. I am Bruce Farrell.
