Hwang Encouraging Public To Engage In Health Insurance Rate Increase HearingSenator Tony Hwang is urging residents to sign up and testify at next week’s public hearing held by the Connecticut Insurance Department on proposed rate hikes for health plans in 2024.HARTFORD – Senator Tony Hwang, ranking member of the Connecticut General Assembly’s Insurance & Real Estate Committee, is urging residents to sign up and testify at next week’s public hearing held by the Connecticut Insurance Department (CID) on proposed rate hikes for health plans in 2024.Each year, insurance companies must make any rate increase requests to CID. During CID’s review process of these rate increases, residents can testify before the Insurance Department to express discontent with proposed increases and highlight how they are negatively impacted by rising healthcare costs.This year, insurers are seeking an average increase of 8.3% on 2025 individual plans, and an 11.9% increase on group plans. In more extreme cases, long-term care (LTC) insurance provider MedAmerica Insurance Company requested a 300.6% increase for a block of group long-term care plans, and LTC insurance provider Transamerica Life Insurance Company requested a 114.11% rate increase on individual LTC plans.These increases continue a trend of rising insurance premiums over the past decade.Hwang issued a statement encouraging distressed residents to testify and make their voice heard on this issue. He also pressed CID to closely scrutinize these rate increases to protect struggling families from even higher insurance premiums:“Residents have felt unheard in their struggles against multiple, double-digit rate increases on health plans since 2021. Now is the time to speak up, make your voice heard, and oppose these rate increases during this month’s hearing.“Residents are facing an affordability crisis, paying higher costs for groceries, utilities, housing, and now even their health insurance. These rate increases will make health insurance unaffordable and inaccessible to thousands of Connecticut residents. This will worsen health outcomes, crowd our emergency rooms, and increase health costs statewide in the long-run.“We need to do better. That starts with a close scrutiny of these rate increases by the Connecticut Insurance Department, whose role is to protect consumers from costly rate increases that threaten coverage for so many residents,” Hwang remarked.According to CID, the hearing will begin at 9 am Tuesday, August 20. The public comment portion will begin in the afternoon.Registration for the in-person testimony will open at 8:30 August 20 in Hearing Room 1D at the Legislative Office Building, 300 Capitol Avenue in Hartford.For those who wish to testify online, sign up by sending an email with full name to cid.Ratefilings@ct.gov. Written testimony will be accepted until 5 pm on the hearing date.

The poll was of likely voters. Do you mean that Rasmussen is not as objective as CNN or MSNBC because they don't oversample Democrats?

Election Security Or Not

The good news is that Virginia, like most countries in the world, has gone back to paper ballots with counting machines not linked to the internet. In Georgia, they have clarified certification so that questions can be addressed before the process is completed.

Don't know which rally you are watching.

Election Security Or Not

When the former president won the electoral college but lost the popular vote in 2016, he blamed it on non-citizens voting. In 2017 The Brennan Center studied the prevalence on non-citizen voting (which is already illegal in federal elections), and found that illegal votes occured .0001% in the jurisdictions they studied. Not enough to move the results a blip. It was Trump's plan to claim fraud in any election he lost. The 2020 election was investigated by several entities and no widespread fraud was found, regardless of the documentaries convicted fraudster Dinesh D'Souza has made claiming otherwise. Trump is now telling his rally-goers that they don't need to vote. Perhaps he is confident in the number of election deniers that are now set to oversee the election certifications in key states. If you are concerned with election fraud, you may be barking up the wrong tree

I'm so sorry to hear about Jim. He was a wonderful man, gave me my start in life as a bookkeeper for him at Country Management. I followed him to Realty Solution Center. He had the office laughing every day, I could never have asked for a better boss. I always think of him, his wife Lillian, even his mother, Yaya who worked with us too. He adored his sons and his dogs! A truly wonderful family. My husband Carmine and I are both so sorry for your loss.
