If you are referring to the MoO rate increases I reported in post #46, this was my source:

This is a link to a MoO blog providing information to MoO agents. You can see rate increase announcements by scrolling down looking for monthly "Upcoming Rate Adjustments" for individual states. Under that category, click on "2010 Modernized In-Force Rate Adjustment" which will show upcoming rate adjustments for MoO supplement companies in that state by Plan (G, N, etc.).
No, the announced rate increases are, as I understand it, due to increased medical costs, etc. and will be applied to existing rates for all insureds in the designated MoO company in that state, regardless of age.
Yes, as I said above, the announced increases are due to increases in medical or other costs (or whatever amount MoO can convince state regulators to approve). Once on a MoO plan, rates will increase by more than this announced cost increase since MoO also adjusts rates annually for an individual based on age. These announced cost increases and age increases are combined and implemented as a single annual increase for each insured.
I've been following these MoO increases for the past four years. I was surprised to see that in my case at least, even though the "book" on my MoO company was closed three years ago, MoO did not announce or implement a cost-based increase for my company in TX last year (I still got an age-based increase). They've already announced a 10% cost-based increase for the coming year, which I will see in June of next year along with another age increase.
