Health Insurers in Idaho Request Premium Rate Hikes As High As 81%

Health care insurers in Idaho have requested premium rate hikes as high as 81 percent for next year, according to the state's Department of Insurance.

The five insurers serving the individual market in Idaho are Blue Cross of Idaho Health Service, Mountain Health Co-Op, PacificSource Health Plans, Regence BlueShield of Idaho, and SelectHealth.

For all plans, insurers requested rates ranging from a low of 25 percent to a high of 51 percent for a combined average statewide rate increase of 38 percent. For Obamacare's popular Silver plan, the average rate increase among all insurers was even higher at 50 percent, with one insurer requesting a high of 81 percent.

"I am deeply disappointed and frustrated to share these rates," said Dean Cameron, who directs the department. "I understand how difficult it will be for Idahoans to afford reasonable coverage, especially those without a subsidy."

Some victims of The "Affordable Care" Act (read "Obamacare) are now paying more for health insurance than for their house mortgage/tax escrow montly. For some having deciding whether to have "affordable health care" or a place to live.

Congratulations liberals (off both parties)! You're quickly achieving the goal of turning Americans into welfare drones - 'cause then they get Obamacaid (Medicaid) ffor free. Well, free to THEM but straight out of YOUR pocket.

They would have hiked them regardless.

Stop listening to healthcare Giants Republicans and idiots

They wouldn't be hiking them by 81%, moron.

This is an insurer request, dupe, and won't happen. By now you should know this is GOP bs...

If they don't get a substantial portion of that they will pull out of the exchanges.

Obama lied about Obamacare.

You mean his predictions turned out to perhaps be wrong 5 years later, after changes that were not of his doing...he also underestimated the idiocy of GOPers vis a vis scam policies...

It's difficult to believe that people actually expected the ACA to work as promised. This ridiculous pig of a law was destined to shit itself, as many of us predicted.

Then the GOP came along, after promising for eight years that they had a better plan, and they proceeded to shit THEMselves.

Is it any wonder so few people trust Congress and politicians on either side?

How in the world can an honest person commit to a partisan ideology?

The problem with Republican politicians is they don't actually believe in the ideology they claim to believe in. They are shysters.

The problem with Democrat politicians is that they do actually believe in the ideology they claim to believe in. However, they are also shysters.

The actual problem with our system is that it's 50-120% more expensive than anywhere else. Time to go after that duhhh...

So you're saying 81% just won't happen. What type of price hike will happen 50%, 70%?

I'll give Trump supporters credit for one thing: I think they are wrong-headed and mis-led (which can be discussed on another thread), but at least they're trying to clean their own house. Our "leaders" (cough) will continue to fail us as long as they have their obedient little partisans spinning for them and pointing the finger at the other guy.

It's expensive because government has made it expensive. If you look at the growth in costs, they began their upward climb when Medicare was created.

It's expensive because government has made it expensive. If you look at the growth in costs, they began their upward climb when Medicare was created.

And insurance became popular, and the GOP and insurers made gov't regulation a crime..and specialist doctors became the thing...and the Great Society was dismantled...

We have no regulations on insurance? You are actually claiming that to be a fact?

 

[bripat9643]

Just admit it you want other people to work hard, then you want to confiscate THEIR money and use it to pay other peoples bills. Health insurance, housing, food, education, goddamn your side resembles the Borg.

I want tax cuts and cheap college and training for YOU, dupe. And you dupes have got the richest paying less %wise than the middle class and getting all the new wealth. You morons believe the rich pay too much! Absolute brainwashed idiocy...

How does it feel to be envious all your life? Lol

How does it feel to be a total dumbass all of YOUR life?

You tell us.

Of all those who post here, you would have the most knowledge on this.

It's difficult to choose among all the brain damaged snowflakes in here as to who would have the least information.

So sad to see your faith in such a state of destruction......

His claims that people could keep the plan/doctor they liked turned out to be a lie because of his doing.

Of course they didn't work. When have government regulations ever worked to keep costs down? They always do exactly the opposite.

So you've gone from claiming there were no regulations to claiming that they didn't work. Apparently that's what snowflakes mean when they claim something was "deregulated." It means their hair-brained schemes didn't work. That's not a very good justification for more regulations, don't ya think?
