Health insurers seek big premium hikes for ObamaCare plans in 2016 Fox News
Dozens of health insurers selling plans under ObamaCare have requested hefty premium increases for 2016, according to preliminary information published Monday by the White House.
The insurers have cited higher-than-expected care costs from customers they gained under the ObamaCare's coverage expansion and the rising cost of prescription drugs and other expenses as reasons for proposing the increases, many of which are in the double-digit percentages.
Among the market leaders, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina is seeking a roughly 26 percent premium increase, while plans in Illinois and Florida, among other states, are asking for hikes of 20 percent or more. In Pennsylvania, Highmark Health Insurance Co. is asking for a 30 percent increase.

People are not going to the doctor because of the unbelievably high Obamacare co pays. Cancer and other health concerns are going undetected. This was predicted but the smart ones just laughed at the Tea Party people. This debacle is all on the left. They stepped in it bad. The end is near for Obamacare and we are going to pay big for allowing it to become law in the first place. We should have all stood up and said no after the politicians that passed the stupid law didn't want anything to do with it and removed themselves from it. Obama said today that he is not a divider and our nation is more respected than when he too office. He's a ******* tool. I could not believe what he said. I'd like to see him try and defend Obamacare...he has not mentioned it publicly in two years!
