       [center]The proposed hikes, between roughly 9% to 19%, come amid
       rising hospital and drug costs, as well as new legislation — not
       yet signed by the governor — that would reform how practitioners
       work with insurers.[/center]
       SNIPPETS:
       Blue Cross Blue Shield of Vermont and MVP, the only insurers
       that sell health plans on the state’s insurance marketplace, are
       seeking permission to increase insurance premiums between
       roughly 9% to 19% :o for the upcoming year.

       Mike Fisher, the state’s health care advocate, pointed out that
       most individuals buying plans from Vermont’s insurance
       marketplace can receive federal tax credits to help pay for
       insurance, although some tax benefits could expire at the end of
       2025. Those credits increase as premiums do, Fisher said.
       But for people paying the sticker price, such as small employers
       who pay for their employees’ insurance, “these are really scary
       rates,” Fisher said.

       “This can’t be the new normal,” he said. “It is so far from
       sustainable. It really leads to a great deal of

       />for our ability to continue to have reasonably affordable
       plans
       going forward.”
       Roughly 45,000 Vermonters are insured by Blue Cross Blue Shield
       on small group and individual plans, according to the insurer.
       MVP said it insures nearly 26,000 Vermonters on small group and
       individual plans.
