Certainly they can, there are no limits set except by income.

......and all "extraordinary" (to be defined in regulations) premium increases require approval by the Sec of HHS.
So you consider that a price control??!?! Please. A Sec of HHS appointed by a President who made back door deals with the Insurance industry and a Senate who basically let a insurance insider write the Bill!??? Are you delusional?
