White House White Board: Health Reform & Rate Review Posted by Stephanie Cutter on December 21, 2010 at 5:27 PM EST For the past decade, Americans have seen double-digit health insurance premium increases. From 2000 to 2010, premiums rose 114 percent and nothing suggests that the quality of insurance coverage improved. In many cases, insurance companies had free reign and weren’t held accountable when they attempted to raise rates on consumers. Only 26 states and the District of Columbia can reject premium increases that are excessive or unjustified, and many of these states lack the resources to use this authority to protect consumers. www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2010/12/21/white-house-white-board-health-reform-rate-review
