Obamacare customers in Arizona are going to face stiff rate hikes of up to 75 percent for some plans, the latest state to approve double-digit increases for 2017 plans.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona plans to raise Obamacare premiums by 51 percent, and Centene Corp. will sell plans in only Maricopa County at a rate of 74.5 percent, according to the Arizona Republic newspaper.

Blue Cross will not sell plans in Maricopa, but it did agree earlier this year to sell plans in Pinal County after news reports that the county would not have any Obamacare insurers.

Arizona is the latest state to face big premium increases.
