Nobody should have received a cancellation letter that

did not include a mandatory government information insert explaining that they are not required to accept whatever their current insurer says a compliant plan costs, and directing them to the appropriate exchange.

That sort of thing is commonplace. There is tons of government mandated information accompanying other things, like loans and cars and gas appliances and credit card statements.

Spilled milk and all, but it should have been done.

I assume that such a requirement of certain information when insurers communicate a cancellation or price increase would have been done if Democrats had held the House, as one of a hundred refinements of the ACA 2010-2013.

It is essentially impossible to fine tune a government program without legislative cooperation.
