If you believe that, you are either pretty dense or brainwashed by the current administration.....The policies were either cancelled or the renewal premiums went up drastically due to changes mandated by the ACA, the insurance companies were forced to do this by the administration, not something of their own choosing.....Simply blaming it on insurance companies is very short sighted. After all, they are in bed with the current administration...Same thing is going to happen when employer sponsored health insurance policies are forced to make changes in coverages & premiums due to the ACA.... My wife's carrier has already indicated that will be happening when their renewals come up in April. The administration said originally that they wanted the "30 million" uninsured individuals to be covered. Well, they did more than that, they have changed the entire landscape of Health insurance & not for the better. Yeah, people who had "pre-existing" conditions can now get health insurance, and some "preventative procedures" are now covered at 100%, but the non preventative procedures that people will get are going to put them in the poorhouse, what with the high deductibles, copays & out of pocket maximums they will be required to pay before the insurance companies even pay out a dime. Guess what happens then, they don't pay their bills & we have the same situation all over again. Plus the issue of people in the country illegally hasn't been address. Those 11 million plus people, plus those who choose to pay the penalty & those who slip between the cracks between being able to get subsidies or qualifying for Medicare (since not all States are obligated to expand it), will continue to use the Emergency rooms as doctors offices & we as taxpayers will continue to pay for it.... Thus this whole ACA thing is a waste...
