Green Mountain Care Board Considers Health Insurance Premium Increases

Vermonters already have the fifth most expensive health insurance plans in the country, and now Blue Cross Blue Shield and MVP have asked the Green Mountain Care Board to approve average premium increases of 9.8% and 15.4% respectively.

If these premium hikes are approved, Vermont Health Connect coverage options could be some of the most expensive in the country.  In fact, just  last year, Vermonters without financial assistance paid an average of $4000 to $7000 in premiums for their Vermont Health Connect coverage, and that does not include the costs of actually getting care.
