Some Coloradans could see increases of up to 40%, while those in Denver can expect a 15-25% rise.  92,000 people will need new plans in 2017.

Covered California announced that rates will increase across the state by an average of 13.2% but that number can be misleading. In one case the cost of a silver-level PPO from Blue Shield the premium will rise from $162 to $254 after tax credits are applied, an increase of 57%.
