California Health Insurance Provider Anthem Not To Charge 39% More eMaxHealth
HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius welcomes California Health Insurance provider Anthem's decision to withdraw its proposed 39 percent health insurance rate increase. The health care reform bill now will ensure people across America have access to affordable health insurance.
She said Anthem's announcement is a "good news."
Indeed Anthem's withdrawal of the proposition to charge 39 percent more for health insurance premiums is a good news for California residents. More than 800,000 people in California use Anthem as their health insurance provider. These people have already been hit by a massive rate increase and a new one was going to come with a proposed 39 percent of premium increase.
The current decision by Anthem, announced today, gives these people who use individual and family health insurance plans a much needed relief.
Secretary Sebelius says people in California, who oversee the state's health insurance industry worked very hard. They heard people's voices coming from across the United States, made some investigations and demanded action from Anthem.
