Health insurers seek double-digit rate hikes for 2016, report finds

Some states have already approved hikes as high as 36% as firms seek increases for a third of the health insurance plans listed on the Obamacare exchange



US insurers have asked for double-digit increases for about third of the health insurance plans listed on the national healthcare exchange, a report has found.

The AgileHeathInsurance.com report found that 7% of plans sold on the exchange have proposed a rate increase of at least 30%, and 14% of the plans have proposed a rate increase of at least 20%.

Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), commonly referred to as Obamacare, the new rates would go into effect come November, at the beginning of the open enrolment period for 2016.


At a July town hall in Tennessee, Barack Obama said that he expected the rates to “come in significantly lower than what’s being requested”.

Yet a month later, a proposed 36% rate hike by BlueCross was approved.

Systematic drive to push us all into the poor house. It has become absolutely effing insane. Luckily I'm not on fixed income or someone else's payroll. For people that are, I imagine they'll have to be selling their homes soon.
