title: Keeping an eye on the Blues. Michigan is the latest state to step up its scrutiny of the Blues' dealings, in this case over certain business transactions.
abstract: State regulators are stepping up scrutiny of not-for-profit insurers, a trend that has ensnared Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Michigan in a lawsuit. The civil lawsuit by Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox, left, alleges that the insurer illegally transferred $125 million to a for-profit subsidiary, which used the funds to buy a for-profit insurer in 2007.
