Cost shift

Plain‑English summary, cross‑checked against the official bill text.

If passed, insurers could not raise long‑term care premiums more than 30% of current limits, and must spread any allowed increase over at least five years.

Our take

What we think, in plain words.

Consumers would be shielded from sudden big premium jumps, making long‑term care more affordable. Insurers would lose some flexibility to raise rates quickly, but the trade‑off protects retirees. The bill is still early, so voters can push for strong consumer safeguards.

The facts

What the bill actually says, no spin.

Bill would set a cap on premium rate increases for long‑term care policies.
The cap cannot exceed 30% of the maximum increase allowed under current rules.
Any approved increase must be spread over at least five years with no further hikes during that time.
No further hikes are allowed once total increases reach 250% of the original premium.
The State Corporation Commission must adopt the rules by July 1, 2027.
