Health Insurance Quotes May Be Affected by Health Care Reform

In one of our last blog entries, we discussed the fact that there are two sides to the argument that health insurance rates are going to go up – those who say no, the competition will drive the rates down versus those who say with a higher medical loss ratio, the rates will go up. Since we don’t have any real way to figuring out what will “really” happen, we’re left trying to monitor online news about what is happening in the health insurance industry. What are some of the major carriers going to do when the medical loss ratio goes up to 80%?

Well lately, it seems there has been more speculation that when the loss ratio goes up, so does the price of the premiums. That actually makes sense because an insurance company is a business, and what business do you know will willingly run at a loss for their customers? If you said no business would do that or they’d go bankrupt, you’d be right. That means if the prices are quite likely to go up with the advent of health care reform, then you might want to think about getting health insurance NOW, and not later.

Your dollars, your health care, your choice – make it one that makes sense financially and health wise.
