YOU DON’T KNOW …WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW

  • premium increases

I have been asked many times if I know why insurance costs are so high.  I give the answer that it is based on many criteria, including our demographic area, plan chosen, size of the group, risk factors, age, gender, smoking/non-smoking, etc.  But I am finding that we just don’t what we don’t know. 

When Wellmark raises their insurance premiums there is always a disappointment, but we must understand how this can happen, who approves this increase and why.  I have also heard the comments about the “new building”, the “air planes”, the “giant” and the profits realized.  

I would like to share this link to some fun and interesting facts that will help you to better understand pricing and “where’s the money going”.
