A job paying $4.5 million a year is not easy to come by, at least in my area of the world it’s not. He used to have clout and now with this all over the media, I guess time will tell 
if it stays or goes away. This is bizarre as his mistress as she is called moved out from her home with her husband, and then the former CEO, Melani hired a private detective to follow her.

Highmark was created in 1996 by the consolidation of two Pennsylvania licensees of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association — Pennsylvania Blue Shield (now Highmark Blue Shield) and Blue Cross of Western Pennsylvania (now Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield).

Dr. Ken Melani is out as CEO of Highmark, a post that paid $4.5 million a year and gave him serious clout in the industry.
Melani is accused of getting into a fist fight in a neighborhood near Pittsburgh with the husband of Highmark employee Melanie Myler who he was allegedly having an affair with.
“The reports are scandalous in nature, it isn’t flattering,” stated attorney Robert del Greco.

s at all, but, it was good to have case history and see almost the exact same thing as what set off whistles and bells 3 years prior and again we stopped there once more and opted out for surgery. She’s still here today and again I can’t emphasize enough that each case is its own and we were and are lucky but I also understand that this is just her case and everyone needs to get all the information they can and make their own decisions.

I see many folks out there who don’t get this and use it more so as just “bragging rights” and readers lose interest with those folks quickly as I see it.
