Up to 27% Major Medical Contracts-Texas Agents

It'll be interesting to see what comes down the pike. In my short tenure:

1) Assurant has doubled the rates from when I started
2) Aetna has doubled the rates just from 2005
3) GR started imposing RX caps on their plans - heading in the wrong direction

Assurant is shilling Right Start like pancakes at Sunday breakfast. GR call centers can't sell enough of their limited products without adding on the important upgrades. Aetna has no plan flexibility.

Something's gonna give.

I have had Unicare HSA for 5 years and my rate for 3 people (Myself, and two kids) is under $600/quarter. Granted I am not an old man like Sti - but still you can't touch that rate.LOL...

man my family fit 2000 was going to $743 soooooo.....I split myself on a hsa 3 as well as my wife and left the kids on fit and brought my prem. down to $591...

I guess you're lucky you and your wife could go back through underwriting.
