October CPI Data Will See Changes in Health Insurance Costs

In the release of October's consumer inflation data tomorrow, you may notice changes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. When it comes to how it estimates health insurance costs, the move is expected to give a boost to the US inflation measure which will reverse a trend that has provided some relief. As of late the CP I index for health insurance looks at what customers pay into their policies. The Bureau of Labor Statistics currently gets this data on an annual basis but we will now switch to a semi annual basis to reduce lags in the index. The changes are also aimed at smoothing volatility in the index.
