A big hi-five to the Michigan Insurance Commissioner for publishing a chart showing each individual and small group insurer's premium change for 2016, just after the middle of August!

I started reading the story but within 2 paragraphs know for certain that CMS is granting SEP's for these. The rate increase goes into effect Oct 1 and CMS has told blue to treat as plan year renewal. I've written two this week for Oct 1 and have a couple after they get paid Sept 1.

I think this news station should have contacted a health insurer corporate office and not a local agent for a news story.

FHK's pulled something like this back in the early 2000's, although the increase wasn't near this much. They did a turn around in a few months.

I don't know, Bill. That information looks altered. How do we know it is real?

That looks like a much-loved document. You can always trust a document with coffee stains, handwritten notes, scratch-outs, etc.
