## Resource

Connecticut’s health insurance landscape is heating up as Anthem and UnitedHealthcare demand steep premium hikes—averaging 16% for individuals and nearly 18% for small businesses—for 2027. Blaming rising healthcare costs and vanishing federal subsidies, insurers warn healthier enrollees may drop coverage, destabilizing rates. Lawmakers push back, eyeing a public option to boost affordability, while frustrated consumers grapple with high deductibles and copays. The state’s Insurance Department is reviewing filings, promising a thorough audit before final decisions in early September—and the public can chime in now. Over 200,000 residents could be affected before open enrollment begins November 1, 2026. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
