Maryland Touts Low Obamacare Health Insurance Premiums

Notice the wingnuts haven't commented. Ridiculous that they'd rather pay more and get less just because their good fortune comes from President Obama.

Tell me Luddly, do you see any danger in dependency on government for our necessities? Would you also want government providing our food and shelter? If getting benes from Big Brother is all that matters, why stop with health care?

Nevermind. You won't answer. But maybe that's a good thing. Maybe somewhere down in that dead, shilling soul of yours, you realize that we're selling out our freedom - and it scares you.

Maybe not.
 
Maryland demands lower insurance rates; Aetna says sayonara to the state’s insurance exchange

Aetna Inc pulled out of Maryland’s health insurance exchange being created under President Barack Obama’s healthcare reform law after the state pressed it to lower its proposed rates by up to 29 percent. …

In an August 1 letter sent to the Maryland Department of Insurance, Aetna said the state’s requirement for rate reductions off its proposed prices would lead it to operate at a loss. The rate reductions include products from Aetna and Coventry Health Care, which it bought this spring.

“Unfortunately, we believe the modifications to the rates filed by Aetna and Coventry would not allow us to collect enough premiums to cover the cost of the plans, including the medical network and service expectations of our customers,” Aetna said in the letter to insurance commissioner Therese Goldsmith.

According to online documents, Aetna had requested an average monthly premium of $394 a month for one of its plans and the agency had approved an average rate of $281 per month.
