Health Insurance Companies Want to Raise Your Rates!
Urgent Action Needed! For years, health insurance companies have diverted billions away from your care. A third of Americans have cut spending or borrowed money to pay for healthcare. And rates are poised to rise another 18% And now, health insurers are asking the Connecticut Insurance Department (CID) for permission to raise rates in 2027 for plans in the individual and small group markets, both on and off the state-sponsored exchange, Access Health CT. This year, insurers are requesting increases as high as 25.2%. Let’s be clear: Healthcare costs in America are out of control. We must make healthcare affordable for all people , lower prices, and give people real choices and access to quality care. CID must reject these latest rate hikes! The CID is accepting comments on requested rate hikes until a decision is made. Send your message to them expressing why these rate hikes need to be denied TODAY! |
Tell PURA: Reject Eversource’s Rate Hike Request
Eversource is asking to raise Connecticut electric bills by about $25 more each month for a single household.
This is the same company that posted $1.69 billion in profit last year, saw shareholder returns rise, and paid its CEO $13.5 million. Connecticut families are already paying some of the highest electric bills in the country. Many people are cutting back, falling behind, or making impossible choices just to keep the lights on. Now Eversource is asking for more. PURA, Connecticut’s utility regulator, has the power to reject this rate hike. They need to hear from us now. A monopoly utility should not be allowed to keep shifting costs and risk onto ratepayers while shareholders and executives are protected. Tell PURA: reject Eversource’s rate hike and protect Connecticut families, not corporate profits. |
