Can I get my Indiv. HealthNet rates lower by switching to a new HealthNet plan? I’ve heard companies want to close their accounting books on old plans
My Indiv. HlthNet costs rose 68% in 2008/09. I had brst cancer in ’07. I’ve heard that ins. companies try to get you to sign onto a new plan so they can close their books on old-ones that become more expensive for them over time? I am afraid to ask in case they try to cancel my coverage.

Your best bet is to inquire with the California Dept of Insurance and see if there is sufficient information and/or rules and statutes covering your specific question.
You may also wish to consult briefly with a California Plaintiff's insurance attorney. Try www.attorneypages.com and check his or her disciplinary record at www.calbar.ca.gov under attorney search.
