Colorado health insurers seek 27 percent premium increase

Post by EGB News »

Colorado health insurers are asking to charge customers in the individual market nearly 27 percent more on average in premiums next year, the state Division of Insurance announced Friday.

The division must still review and approve the requests — after receiving public comment. But insurers can back out of the market if the state doesn’t OK their premium hikes. . .

Cigna, which is requesting the largest rate increase at 41 percent, said Colorado’s market turned out to be, “more adverse than assumed in the current rates,” meaning it had cost more for the company to provide coverage than expected.

I hope the Senate healthcare bill would allow people to get insurance in any state. So consumers could shop around the country. That should help to lower costs.
