    Copying my comment from another thread:

    Okay, no. Anthem were looking to implement this in Connecticut, New York and Missouri, with Colorado and other states being brought into this policy later on.

    Anthem has only backed off this policy in Connecticut. The other states are still currently on the table.

        Anthem backed off from Connecticut and NY.

        “After hearing from people across the state about this concerning policy, my office reached out to Anthem, and I’m pleased to share this policy will no longer be going into effect here in Connecticut,” Connecticut Comptroller Sean Scanlon wrote on X on Thursday.

        “Last night, I shared my outrage at a plan from Anthem to strip away coverage from New Yorkers who had to go under anesthesia for surgery,” (Gov. Kathy Hochul) said in the statement. “We pushed Anthem to reverse course and today they will be announcing a full reversal of this misguided policy. Don’t mess with the health and well-being of New Yorkers – not on my watch.”
