2020 insurance rates submitted to DOI for review

By Susan West

Frankfort, KY - Insurance carriers have submitted proposed rates to the Department of Insurance (DOI) for Kentucky's 2020 individual and small group markets. Anthem Health Plans of Kentucky, Inc. (Anthem) filed requests for 13 different plans to be offered on the Exchange with a proposed average rate increase of 12%. CareSource Kentucky Co. requested an average rate decrease of 4.5% for 12 different plans to be offered on the Exchange. This decrease follows the 19.4% rate increase approved last year for the 12 plans it offered. The submitted rates are subject to review by the Department.

"We are pleased that both insurers are committed to continue offering health insurance plans in the Kentucky individual market," said Insurance Commissioner Nancy G. Atkins. Following a thorough examination by experienced DOI analysts and retained actuaries, the Department plans to complete the review of the proposed rates by August 2019. Additionally, any service area expansion by either carrier will be finalized at the same time.

Sen. Max Wise's Legislative Update - Independence Day

Personal political commentary/opinions of the writer

By State Senator Max Wise, (R-Campbellsville)
16th District: Adair, Clinton, Cumberland, McCreary, Russell, Taylor, and Wayne Counties

Since the adoption of the Declaration of Independence, the Fourth of July has been observed as a day for patriotism and unity. It is on this day that exemplary visionaries dared to create a new form of government for a new people -- a country in which freedom reigned. It is with celebration, reflection, and remembrance that we observe this Independence Day. "We, the people of the United States, have faced insurmountable odds since our young country's conception but continue to fight for our God-given rights unique to the United States of America..,"

The Fourth of July is an opportunity to reflect on our country's past and to take pride in our nation's enduring principles. This day marks the first time it was decided that every person is born with certain God-given rights and the Declaration of Independence is still known as one of the most powerful statements of all time.

Letter: Another power outage

Maury E Lewis writes:
Southern Adair was once again without power for 5 hours tonight. When I called to tell them we were out they ask me if I knew what caused the power outage. I told them no but maybe it had something to do with the storm that had just passed through.

I would like to ask them though "Does anyone know what caused this outage and the one we had Sunday afternoon, into the night? Inquiring minds and customers of Taylor Electric want to know." --Maury
