Ironically the deal was cancelled once it was revealed that Landry’s Chief of Staff used to work as a lobbyist for Pennington Biomedical, who was set to receive millions from this deal.

Pennington getting $800 million to improve health outcomes and conduct research wouldn't be a bad thing.
But how will Elevance provide better coverage? Will they keep the BCBS jobs in Baton Rouge?

the LDI said for the commissioner to make a ruling on this, that BCBS needed the shareholder vote to have the necessary numbers to pass BEFORE they would rule.
I would hazard a guess, that with the BCBS language about “engaging shareholders about why this is good” that they didn't have anything close to the Number of votes required in order for commissioner to make a decision.
