Sandbox VC Firm that Manages Blue Cross/Blue Shield VC Funds Is Moving to San Francisco–An Incubator for Some New Coders To Write Algorithms for Profit?

What else would you think?  Why would they not stay in Chicago?  When you see those orange tablets sitting in doctors offices, those are funded by the Blues Venture Capital arm.  Who would have ever thought health insurance companies would turn into VC.  Look what happened here as Wellpoint buys a company from their own Venture Capital company.

The only reason I see health insurance companies wanting an incubator is to make money and by the way Blue Cross was down a little the first quarter and membership too as United Healthcare seems to beating them over the head with their aggressive marketing efforts and in some states Blue Cross and United are at odds right now over government insurance administration contracts.  BD
