The Fort Worth paper had a very interesting article the other day and it shed some light about why the rates in Texas are high vs other states, and that there are some cost controls in Obama care that I actually didn't realize existed.
There is a provision in the law that if a healthcare company has a g&a cost greater than 15 or 20% for a plan year, it must rebate the overage back to the policy holders. The article sites an example where NY collects 2x $s in premiums vs Texas, yet Texas will owe rebates 6X greater $ wise vs NY. It also points out that Texas regulators (aka crooks) are likely not to allow the rebates to go through as provided under Obama care.
I have always felt we are getting a screwing in Texas with what we have to pay for health insurance and that our regulators are corrupt.
