Bingo. Your insurance company most likely isnt interested in getting you into the best, most affordable plan. Theyre interesting in making themselves the most money. If you gotta shop for insurance on the private market, do your research and go to the exchanges. Thats what theyre there for. In recent months, thousands of Americans have received insurance cancellation letters offering them plans with ridiculously expensive new premiums. But those who trust their insurers to offer them the most affordable, most beneficial plan available should maybe reconsider that whole trust thing. As Talking Points Memo reports on Monday, some insurers across the country are sending misleading letters to lock people into expensive plans before they can shop around on the exchanges (which will probably, possibly, maybe work by November 30). In September, Washingtons Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler told shoppers not to blindly trust the recommendations of their insurers in a consumer alert. Dont just take what your insurance company says, make sure you shop around. You have the right to buy any plan inside the new exchange or in the outside market, Kreidler said.
