Monday, May 4th, 2009Please note that while not everyone will be affected by annual rate increases, many of you will find that your rates are being adjusted by the insurance carriers. This is due to rising costs of health care, hospitalizations, and prescription drug costs. However, though your rates may be rising, this does not mean you are without options.
