What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The State Health Plan and State Treasurer Brad Briner requested a temporary injunction against Atrium Health. They argue that Atrium’s Affordability Protection Program violates state law and could cause the State Health Plan to go bankrupt. Judge Matthew Houston will hear arguments for and against this action on Tuesday in Sanford.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The legal action questions Atrium Health’s authority to change copays, deductibles, and coinsurance amounts, which Briner states is the duty of the State Treasurer. The potential bankruptcy of the State Health Plan would threaten the state’s healthcare system.
