Sara Collins, vice president for the Affordable Health Insurance program at The Commonwealth Fund, discusses the recently issued regulation on the review of "unreasonable" increases in health insurance premiums in a blog post. "This proposed regulation, along with the newly issued regulations limiting what percent of premiums insurance carriers can spend on non-medical services, will provide consumers with information about the increases they experience in their premiums each year and how their premium dollars are spent," she writes. "Such transparency is unprecedented in the individual and small group insurance markets and will create a new competitive dynamic and incentives to lower costs among carriers."
