D all the way! Family rates higher, single rates lower - that's how they keep us all on our toes, am I right?

D) The effect of a typical family rate ratio is that a family rate is somewhat higher than it otherwise should be, and the single rate is somewhat lower that it otherwise should be.

B) If the rate ratio for a couple rate category is 2.0, then the single premium is divided by 2.0 to derive the couple rate category premium.

A) While rate ratios consider family size, they are most often based on competitive factors, such as the ratios being used by competitors and the ratios that plan sponsors are requesting.

I'm going to go with C. Gotta love those pesky regulatory approvals! It's like the health plans need permission to do anything.

Hmm, I'm torn between B and D. If the rate ratio for a couple is 2.0, does that mean you divide the single premium by 2.0? Or is it the family rate that's higher and the single rate that's lower? This is tricky!

Hmm, I think B is correct. You divide the single premium by the rate ratio for the couple category.

I'm not sure, but I think A could also be correct since rate ratios are influenced by competitive factors.

I agree with Yong, because a family rate ratio should balance out the single rate.

I'm pretty sure the answer is D. The effect of a typical family rate ratio is that a family rate is somewhat higher than it otherwise should be, and the single rate is somewhat lower that it otherwise should be.

I think the correct answer is C. A rate ratio can only be increased if the health plan has obtained regulatory approval. That makes the most sense to me.
