H. (UPI) New Hampshire Insurance Commissioner John A. Durkin says the reason Blue Cross-Blue Shield need health premium rate hikes is to bail out their inefficiencies. Durkin said Thursday he will ask the special session of the legislature for immediate authority to control the insurance rates and practices of the two health plans. The commissioner told a news conference New Hampshire is faced with a health insurance crisis, with skyrocketing costs threatening to send us all to the poor house.

Durkins proposals would also authorize more control over the sales and advertising practices of certain health insurance organizations. Claiming increased costs, Blue Cross has asked for a 33 per cent boost in basic subscriber rates. Blue Shield has requested a 25 per cent increase. Durkin charged that earlier hearings on the requests have unearthed waste, inefficiencies, and a lack of proper concern for the insurance consumer.

He said this is more than the state allows for insurance firms applying for licenses to sell in New Hampshire.
