CPPP Testimony on Health Reform Law's New Accountability Measures

The federal health reform law establishes new accountability measures for unreasonable health insurance premium increases and "medical loss ratios"—a measure of how insurers spend premium dollars. CPPP recently submitted public comments to a request for information from federal agencies developing health reform regulations on these topics. The center has done research on rate review and medical loss ratios in Texas, and submitted comments to the federal agencies encouraging strong standards that benefit consumers.
