State Regulators Say Pennsylvania Health Insurance Premiums to Rise
State regulators say the cost of health insurance premiums will be going up sharply next year for residents who buy individual plans.The state Department of Insurance said Monday that insurance company rates, based on requests for 2017, include an average increase of 32.5 percent for individual plans and 7.1 percent for small group plans.Officials said they pushed back last year on rate increase requests but, "given challenges companies are facing" and Washington's failure to act on changes to the law, insurance company requests for rate increases next year "were critical to ensuring all Pennsylvania residents continued to have access to health plans through the federal exchange in 2017."Commissioner Teresa Miller said the increases were necessary to keep insurers from abandoning the market completely.
