GAO: New rules leading to lower healthcare premiums, cuts to agents' fees - The Hill's Healthwatch

 

[Truthmatters]

According to GAO, some insurers are decreasing premiums or leaving their rates unchanged in order to comply with the MLR requirements. Three companies told GAO that premiums will either fall next year or increase by a smaller amount than they would have without the MLR.

The changes to premiums are coming in conjunction with cuts to brokers' premiums, GAO found. Insurance agents and brokers have warned repeatedly that the MLR will hurt them. And while consumer advocates have argued that the effects are overstated, the GAO report seems to support agents' claims.

So the agents settle for less like the majority of working America does. No big deal.

Lets hear the right whine about a Maximum wage law

Holy Bat Shit!!!

What a moron you are. Your own piece states 3 companies (big fucking deal), and says they could still increase premiums!

Insurance agents and brokers have warned repeatedly that the MLR will hurt them. And while consumer advocates have argued that the effects are overstated, the GAO report seems to support agents' claims.

Self explanatory, even for a moron like you.

Speaking of morons....Where did TM say that all insurance companies have lowered premiums? Answer: TM didn't say that. Here, try reading:

Congrats, you just repeated to TM what TM already posted.

For you cons who are complaining about your insurance premiums going up you need to go to a company that is passing this savings on to you and not pocketing it and charging you more.

I simply showed TM that the cited article specifically states premiums could go up. A fact he avoided in his first post.

Congrats, you just proved to the board your reading comprehension skills are on par with those of a 3 year old.

It takes time to implement the law. Most of the provisions won't go into effect until 2014. Of course insurance companies are going to hike their premiums while they still can. What else would you expect them to do?

So my premium may go down, stay the same, or go up at these 3 (out of hundreds) of insurance providers? How is that good or bad news?
