Why Are the Proposed 2016 Obamacare Rate Increases So Large?

Why The Big Obamacare Rate Increases Have Begun a Year Early?


One state after another is reporting big Obamacare rate increases––particularly from many high market share health insurers who have the best claim data.

Where are the rates going up and by how much?

Will regulators cut these rate increases back as they often did last year?

What is causing this a full year before the insurance company "3Rs" claim and risk corridor support payments are set to go away?

Are carriers just being conservative worried about the upcoming Supreme Court decision?

I tried to answer these questions and more in my latest post at Forbes.
