Some health insurance companies have announced as many as four different price increases in just over a year. I am due to renew my health insurance soon, do you think it’s going to cost me more this year? Around 2.5 million people have health insurance and most are afraid to relinquish it because then they’d have to rely on our public health system. And what should I do if I have health insurance and renewal time is approaching? The law requires health insurance companies to treat everyone equally.
