What a difference a year makes! Aetna decreased all of their rates by approximately 12.5% in 2011. Contrarily, Assurant underwent the most drastic increase, raising rates by 47%, and Kaiser behaved similarly, raising rates by 32% in 2011. Blue Cross Blue Shield Carefirst and Celtic went through more modest increases, 7% and 9% respectively. And Health Insurance Innovations changed their coverage twice which makes a rate comparison more difficult.
