House State Health Plan oversight chair Hugh Holliman says George Stokes was fired over an accounting error of more than $100M.
According to Holliman, Stokes told the oversight committee the plan was performing so well it would produce a surplus of around $50M. Instead, the committee found itself facing a $65M shortfall. Committee co-chairs Holliman and Rand, displeased by the "communication problem," made the call to fire Stokes.
Holliman says the miscalculation won't factor into this year's budget (whew!), but will have to be addressed next year.
