Louisiana Democratic Party Chairman Claude “Buddy” Leach, Jr. has come out with a statement opposing Gov. Bobby Jindal’s plan to privatize the state’s Office of Group Benefits (OGB), the agency that manages state employees’ health insurance.“Bobby Jindal’s plan to sell the Office of Group Benefits could jeopardize the quality of health care received by more than 250,000 active and retired Louisiana workers and their dependents,” Leach said in a statement. “OGB does not cost taxpayers a dime to run and selling it will not save the state of Louisiana any money.”
