A new class-action lawsuit against health insurance giant Anthem Blue Cross has been filed by the non-profit organization Consumer Watchdog. The suit comes after Blue Cross changed its policies on increasing deductables and other out-of-pocket costs. The new change also makes it possible for Blue Cross to change the policy up to six times a year, which is every two months. Tuesday host Tiffany Marie Brannon spoke with Consumer Watchdog attorney Jerry Flanagan and the Lead Plantiff for the case, Janet Kossouf on the subject. Anthem Blue Cross declined to comment, but stated that they defend their actions and stand by their policies.
