This week, the Connecticut Insurance Department will hold hearings on proposed rate hikes requested by Connecticut’s largest health insurers — Anthem, ConnectiCare and Aetna. Plans administered by these companies cover thousands of Connecticut workers and their families. The average requested increases from the insurers are as high as 28 percent. The Insurance Department has the authority to accept or reject the rates.
The hearings on Wednesday, August 3, and Thursday, August 4, will give you opportunities to testify on how these rate hikes would affect you and your family.
