Florida Representative (R)Gus Bilirakis and (D)Kathy Castor from the Chairman and ranking member of the Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee have submitted House Bill #HR 708.
This would make our insurance premiums 3 to 5 times HIGHER than the amount to folks that are younger than us!
"INSURERS WILL BE ABLE TO CHANGE ITS OLDEST ENROLLEES UP TO 3 TIMES AS MUCH AS YOUNGER ENROLLEES. THE NEW PROPOSAL WOULD CHANGE THE AGE RATING TO 5.1 OR HIGHER." according to a study from AARP Public Policy Institute.
"An average person 60 years and older would see their insurance bills go up by $3200 annually; making their average annual premium a whopping $17,000!!!
I did not place this into the "Politics" catagory so don't write saying I should. This is a major concern to most of us seniors and I just called Gus Bilirakis' office and let them know my concern regarding this bill. This information came from AARP.
I hope you will call these people and ask that this bill not be passed.
Florida Representative Gus Bilirakis (202) 225-5755.
Health Subcommitte: Kathy Castor (202)225-3376.
Please help to stop the huge increase that we cannot afford! They are in session right now behind closed doors deciding on a new health care bill which must include this I am sure!
