The Oct. 18 editorial "Assault on a Health Insurer" criticized D.C. Council legislation designed to hold CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield accountable to the public. The editorial said that the legislation would force CareFirst "to dip into its coffers to fund the philanthropic priorities of D.C. officials" and "take money" away from subscribers to "satisfy the government's notions of public good." This is not accurate.
