Q&A: Blue Cross CEO Tricia Keith vows insurer will face, learn from adversity

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Michigan suffered two blows last week — the loss of its longtime contract managing healthcare coverage for General Motors Co.'s salaried employees in Michigan and a lawsuit filed by state Attorney General Dana Nessel accusing the Blues of antitrust violations. Daniel Howes, senior editor / business & columnist for The Detroit News, sat down with Blues CEO Tricia Keith on Oct. 13 for an exclusive, wide-ranging discussion about the challenges and opportunities amid the adversity. The conversation was edited for clarity and brevity. Question : I'm very interested in this institution that is contending with some big issues. The first, I think, is the loss of the GM salaried healthcare contract and what this means. How long has General Motors been a client, and is this something that was unforeseen? Answer : I think everything is always interconnected, and so I think we have to think about it that way. But you know, I would start in talking about General Motors, the fact that we are still very proud to be covering 100,000 GM members through the UAW agreement, and so you know we're across the street, we're here in Michigan, and we're proud

Feds issue emergency order over power grid concerns for 13 states

The U.S. Department of Energy this week issued an emergency order directing a power transmission company operating across 13 states, including Michigan, to order the use of backup generation capabilities if necessary to maintain the power grid during a period of unusually high demand. U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright issued the emergency order to mitigate blackout risks in the mid-Atlantic ahead of a period of elevated demand, DOE said in a release. The department said a high rate of planned generator outages during the autumn maintenance season, and numerous planned transmission outages could affect the grid. “This order will help ensure millions of American families and businesses across the mid-Atlantic have access to affordable, reliable, and secure electricity by making additional power generation, including backup power, available to use as needed,” said U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright. “While past leaders’ energy subtraction policies have made the grid more vulnerable to the risk of blackouts when the sun doesn’t shine or the wind doesn’t blow, this administration remains committed to using every available tool to prevent blackouts.” The DOE order directs PJM Interconnection LLC to dispatch specified units and to order their operation as needed to maintain reliability and
