A bill that would let the public see far more health insurance rate information has passed the Washington House of Representatives.
Under state law, Washington Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler's office is now barred from releasing virtually all the information that insurers submit to justify premium increases. House Bill 1220 -- requested by Kreidler -- would end that secrecy.
"In today's tough econmic climate, people deserve to see where their money's going," said Kreidler
