To the editor: As a 15-year subscriber to a Blue Shield insurance plan, I would like to offer my opinion on the company taking over the California vaccination program: No. There has rarely been a time in the past 15 years that I could speak to anyone at Blue Shield without being kept on hold for about an hour. I cannot imagine how Blue Shield could do anything other than make this process more miserable and impersonal. J.J. Gasparotti, Laguna Beach..AdvertisementTo the editor: My head almost exploded reading about how “helpful” Blue Shield says it will be. I applaud Los Angeles County Supervisors Holly Mitchell and Hilda Solis and others for pushing back on this unnecessary intervention into the vaccine distribution system.
