Many health insurers go big with initial 2016 rate requests (These guys are just the worst)

Dozens of health insurers say higher-than-expected care costs and other expenses blindsided them this year, and they're going to have to hike premiums for individual policies well-beyond 10 percent for 2016.

The proposed double-digit hikes would apply to plans sold on the health insurance exchanges created under President Barack Obama's law, as well as individual coverage sold through brokers and agents.

These guys are just the worst and so full of horseshit that their eyes are brown. They are just going to continue to choke people out.
