Kansas: Preliminary avg. 2022 #ACA rate changes: +8.3% indy, +5.6% sm. group (unweighted)

(sigh) Once again, the Kansas Insurance Dept. is supremely unhelpful when it comes to providing information about individual & small group market health insurance premium rate changes. Not only are the ACA plans not listed in the state's SERFF database or on the department's website, even the actuarial memos available at the federal Rate Review website are heavily redacted.
