Pennsylvania. Governor Edward Rendell has announced that the state’s insurance department is investigating Pennsylvania’s nine largest health insurance companies to determine the reasons behind controversial rate increases. Mr. Rendell is especially concerned with the extent to which the premium increases are driven by the use of “questionable health profiling tools.” These include the use of individualized medical questionnaires and drug profiling in the small group market, according to the state’s insurance commissioner.
