Health plans are sending hundreds of thousands of cancellation letters to people who buy their own coverage, frustrating some consumers who want to keep what they have and forcing others to buy more costly policies.
The main reason insurers offer is that the policies fall short of what the Affordable Care Act requires starting Jan. 1.
An estimated 14 million people purchase their own coverage because they don’t get it through their jobs. Calls to insurers in several states showed that many have sent notices.
Florida Blue, for example, is terminating about 300,000 policies, about 80 percent of its individual policies in the state. Kaiser Permanente in California has sent notices to 160,000 people – about half of its individual business in the state. Insurer Highmark in Pittsburgh is dropping about 20 percent of its individual market customers, while Independence Blue Cross, the major insurer in Philadelphia, is dropping about 45 percent.

Question: if retirement plans that feature health coverage experience massive (unexpected) increases in health care insurance, can the retirees get dumped from private health care plans into Obamacare and an Obamacare plan, which then might (unexpectedly) charge the retiree, based on their retirement nest egg and pension?
Yep. I lurk over at DU from time to time and libs are aready testing out the "ACA was drafted by Republicans who then refused to vote for it" line to try and pass the buck.
Yes it’s possible, and frankly that is a long term goal of Obamacare - make it so expensive and complicated for private insurance companies so they are unable to compete with government-run non-profit exchanges. That’s the path to single-payer. Below is a link with an example:
Thanks, could not find it on FR so just posted it in a separate FR thread here:

This was the plan from the beginning. It is sure going to hit the fan when millions of Americans experience the reality of Obamacare.
“You are giving those people to much credit as friends.”
Um, as I said, they are NOT friends. As for them laughing behind my back, since I do not hold them in any regard, I could not care less.
