Under current ACA law, insurance companies aren't required to change policies

[JaneyVee]

Until December 31st 2014. Insurance companies can renew such catastrophic individual policies on December 31st 2013 and extend them through the entirety of 2014. Any insurance company dropping people before 12-31-14 are doing so because they are greedy soulless blood-gargling psychopaths. Not one single piece of the ACA needs to be changed in order for them to legally extend these catastrophic policies. After 12-31-14 all insurance must comply to ACA standards.

1. You realize that there are plenty of

policies on the exchanges (both federal and state) that qualify as "catastrophic", right?

2. I'm only speaking of people getting cancellation notices. Of these 5%, it is

Estimated that 2-3% of them will actually pay less for far better coverage.

3. Okay. nt

4. Yup, one last fleecing.

5. Excellent point!

6. You'd think that Democrats who voted for the law

would know about the grace period. Instead they're out there feeding the RW talking points and lining up to address a non-existing problem.

Well, there is a problem, as you said, the "greedy soulless blood-gargling psychopaths."

If members of Congress want to address the problem, they should be going after the insurance companies.
