"This is a huge amount of money for such a small school; we had twenty-four graduates this year," Principal Cliff Curry said. In addition to the scholarships awarded to the new graduates, just over $49,000 was awarded to past graduates from scholarships that support more than one year of post-secondary education. "Student loans are more expensive than ever, and other sources of assistance are not as easy to come by, so we are very pleased to have this level of support for our students to continue their education," Superintendent Charles Ward said. In recent years, Los Molinos High School has made great strides in promoting college readiness. More students are taking college-preparatory classes, and the Advancement via Individual Determination (AVID) program has focused on preparing students for post-secondary education. Programs such as Upward Bound, Talent Search, and College Options The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announces Thursday that nationwide, 77.8 million consumers saved $3.4 billion up front on their premiums as insurance companies operated more efficiently. Additionally, consumers nationwide will save $500 million in rebates, with 8.5 million enrollees due to receive an average rebate of around $100 per family. Today's report includes the 2012 health insurer data required under the Affordable Care Act's Medical Loss Ratio(MLR), or "80/20 rule." The report shows that, compared to 2011, more insurers are meeting this standard and spending more of their premium dollars directly toward patient care and quality, and not red tape and bonuses. Created through the Affordable Care Act, the rule requires insurers to spend at least 80 cents of PALS Scholarship; Parent Booster Senior Award; Paul D.

If they spend a higher amount on other expenses like profits and red tape, they owe rebates back to consumers. For many consumers, the report found that the law motivated their plans to lower prices or improve their coverage to meet the standard. This new standard and other Affordable Care Act policies contributed to consumers saving approximately $3.9 billion on premiums in 2012, for a total of $5 billion in savings since the program's inception. "The health care law is providing consumers value for their premium dollars and ensuring the money they pay every month to insurance companies goes toward patient care," HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said. "Thanks to the law, 8.5 million Americans will receive $500 million back in their pockets and purses." If an insurer did not spend enough premium dollars on patient care and quality improvement, rebates will be paid in one of the following ways: • a rebate check in the mail; • a lump-sum reimbursement to the same account that they used to pay the premium if by credit card or debit card; • a reduction in their future premiums; or • their employer providing one of the above, or applying the rebate in another manner that benefits its employees, such as more generous benefits. Insurance companies that do not meet the standard will send consumers a notice informing them of this new rule. The notice will also let consumers know how much the insurer did or did not spend on patient care or quality improvement, and how much of that differ- ence will be returned as a rebate. The 80/20 rule, along with the required review of proposed double-digit premium increases, works to stabilize and moderate premium rates. And, with the new market reforms, including the guaranteed availability protections and prohibition of the use of factors such as health status, medical history, gender and industry of employment to set premiums rates, this policy helps ensure every American has access to quality, affordable health insurance.
