Hefty rate hike sought by Blue Cross Blue Shield
Blue Cross Blue Shield appeals for public backing to win a 35 percent increase for hospitalization and 19 percent for doctors services in full page ads. The Concord-based plan says it spends 1.30 dollars per dollar taken in, while its red ink is 16 cents on the dollar. Since 1969 the New Hampshire Vermont plans have paid out seven million dollars more than they have taken in. Vermont Banking and Insurance Deputy Commissioner Eugene Lemke questions the justification for the rate increase.
