We’re hearing that insurance companies who spent too much of your money on overhead and excessive profits are starting to lower rates to get in line with new rules in the healthcare law.
If you purchase insurance on your own, or work for a small business, are you seeing rate decreases or lower premium increases than in the past? Share your story with us.
In just one example, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas dropped the rate 7% on a policy covering individuals like early retirees and the self-employed.
Share your story with us to help us understand how insurance companies are making changes based on new rules. Make sure to tell us who your insurer is and the details of your rate change.
Please provide your contact information (which we will not share with anyone) so we can learn more details about your story, if needed. Thank you for your input!
