Testimony of CMS Administrator Marilyn Tavenner to House Committee on Energy and Commerce on ACA Implementation (PDF)
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services [CMS], U.S. Department of Health and Human Services [HHS] 
Aug. 3, 2013
13 pages. Excerpt: "The [ACA] has brought an unprecedented level of scrutiny and transparency to health insurance rate increases by requiring an insurance company to justify a rate increase of 10 percent or more, shedding light on arbitrary or unnecessary costs. Since the rule on rate increases was implemented, the number of requests for insurance premium increases of 10 percent or more plummeted from 75 percent to an estimated 14 percent. The average premium increase for all rates in 2012 was 30 percent below what it was in 2010. Available data suggest that this slowdown in rate increases is continuing into 2013. Americans have saved an estimated $1 billion on their health insurance premiums thanks to rate review."
