Potential rate hikes in the ACA may be coming in 2017. The problem? They may not want you to know about it.
According to ratereview.healthcare.gov, twenty-eight states have disclosed rate proposals to the public as of Monday. Several of those states, including Indiana, Oregon and Washington, also post the information on their insurance websites. Some of the filings contain trade secrets that are blacked out but rate information is available. Rate proposals for Illinois, however were not included and won’t be released until August 1st of 2016.
States like Illinois have limited ability to push back against insurers. That said, there is some precedence for pushing back against proposed rate increases.

My wife and I had our first child three years ago. That’s when we decided to set up a trust, should anything happen to either of us. We reached out to Zach Hesselbaum to help us out. He was very thorough and professional throughout the whole process. Zach went above and beyond to make sure that we understood every detail of setting it up and he did an excellent job. We recently had our second child a few months ago. With the new baby, he helped us make the necessary revisions to the trust. Zach made this process great for us! I would definitely recommend using him for any of your estate planning needs!
