The Affordable Care Act gives states the power to review rates when insurers hike premiums by 10 percent or more. But that doesn't mean they have the authority to stop those hikes -- and the state says its hands are tied. So what does this mean for future premiums?

Host: Dave Iverson

Guests:

  • Dave Jones, insurance commissioner for the state of California
