A new report shows that Eau Claire and La Crosse are tied for the second highest health insurance costs in the state.

Citizen Action of Wisconsin released the fourth annual Wisconsin Health Insurance Cost Ranking Report Tuesday. The organization says even though some areas of the state have higher costs than others, the report finds that every region has suffered higher insurance inflation.

La Crosse had a 10 percent rate of inflation and Eau Claire had 6 percent.

Congressman Ron Kind of La Crosse says this report shows health care costs are too expensive and are going up too fast.
