In the first segment of this week’s regular Republican legislative news conference, House Minority Leader Paul Stam, R-Wake, and Rep. John Blust, R-Guilford, explained their support for a change of oversight of the State Employee Health Plan from the legislative branch to the executive branch.
Stam pointed to an April performance audit from the State Auditor’s office that says “The General Assembly should consider legislation to place the State Health Plan under the authority of an executive branch agency to ensure proper operational and financial oversight.”
