It’s Goliath vs. Goliath, and Mainers are caught in the crossfire

The BDN Opinion section operates independently and does not set newsroom policies or contribute to reporting or editing articles elsewhere in the newspaper or on bangordailynews.com. Trey Stewart of Presque Isle represents District 2 in the Maine Senate. He is the Senate Republican lead for the Health Coverage, Insurance and Financial Services Committee and the Energy, Utilities and Technology Committee.

April’s hearing was a chance to hear from both sides, because about 300,000 Mainers — including more than 25,500 state employees — have Anthem as their insurer.
