Attorney General Says Public Hearing Opportunity For Anthem To Do Right Thing, Drop Rate Increase Request
July 8, 2009
"This case shows the clear need for reform in the law -- mandating hearings for all insurance rate increase requests. If nothing else, mandatory hearings will increase accountability and scrutiny, giving insurers pause before submitting massive rate increase requests like Anthem's. I will fight for legislation requiring public hearings and input for any and all insurance rate hike applications."
