There's not a lot going on by way of insurance news today, so I thought I'd point you in the direction of a couple lower-key insurance tidbits:

Health Insurance Premiums Up 87 Percent Since 2000 [Chicago Sun-Times]
Insurers Lowering Auto Insurance Rates in Virginia [Insurance Journal]
State Warns Consumers About Group Health Insurance Scam [WTVQ - Kentucky]

Of course, if your eyesight is currently experiencing a Friday afternoon slump, take a break from reading and view our latest Insurance Blog Wrap-Up to see this week's happenings at the Insurance Blog. It's pretty exciting stuff. We're talking mullet wigs and jean shorts, people.

See you Monday!
