Yes, and CA BC & BS famously tried that last year, too, and were prevented from doing it by the Obama administration. And they raised alot the year before. That's not associated with the PPACA. That's insurance companies taking record profits while they kick off customers who cost them money.

That is one of the reasons why the PPACA was passed, however - to help control insurance costs.
