Local insurance brokers are reporting spikes ranging from 35 percent to 120 percent on policies that renew from July to December.

It also narrows the allowed premium gap between older and younger enrollees.
No, these are not the "bad" health plans. These are otherwise compliant plans that are now being rated under the new Obamacare individual / small group market underwriting requirements.
