Insurance companies profit margin may be to low which may be the reason for the increase. If the profit is below a certain percentage then the state takes control of the company. The increase is due to the doctor and hospital cost that jeopardizes the insurance companies from being taken over from the state.
Compain to your doctor to lower his cost because your rates are going up.

Complain to the doctor??
Complain to the government for not enacting tort reform. Complain to the scum bag lawyers trawling for any excuse to sue someone in the medical field ("Are you taking Yaz and have suffered an injury due to a blood clot? You could be entitled to a large sum of money"). Complain to the idiot judges and juries that award million dollar settlements because "that's why they have malpractice insurance". Complain to the people that cause malpractice insurance to be up to half of a doctor's salary.
There are two types of people in any medical field, those that have been sued and those that haven't worked long enough to be sued yet. |

Don't even use the damn stuff. I pay this crap every month for nothing. State shoved prescription drugs down our throat 2 years ago. Nobody in the family has had any prescriptions for over a year.

My girlfriend is still under her parent's insurance and is on a plan like that. $2000 deductible, be it appointments, ER, prescriptions, you name it. After $2000, I think they have a $20 copay for any service after. |

I think Redlite is doing it. |

They're just going to keep climbing. I hope no one was under the illusion that costs to the middle class would decrease.
My Co-pay is $10 for scheduled visits, $50 for emergency care.

United Healthcare(RI) just raised the copays.
Office went from $20 to $30.
Specialist went from $40 to $60.
They added a new copay called Urgent Care(walk-in) and its $100.
But the real winner here is Emergency Room:
It went from $100 to $250!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
