Vermont Blue Shield rate cut delay denied by official
Banking and Insurance Commissioner James Guest refused Blue Shield's request to postpone a 9 percent rate cut set for July 1. He said the company did not lower rates per the order and did not pass the benefit to policyholders. An automatic suspension of the order is disputed amid ongoing legal action. Blue Cross faces a 4 percent rise, far from its 17 percent request, with potential future increases after Phase 4 controls end in August.
