and won't be affected by the rate increase.

I think this state announcement is very suspicious. The governor never supported the ACA,so of course he's going to say the rate increases are caused by the ACA. Also, the state could -- like other states -- reject the amount of these proposed increases that are so out of line with what other states' insurers are proposing. If the state doesn't, then blame it, not the ACA.
