(32,886 posts)As far as keeping your health plan, the health insurance companies have always altered plans between plan years. You never got the same exact policy from year to year. Things were added or taken away, deductibles raised or lowered, etc. This reminds me of Jon Stewart mocking the Ted Cruz for suggesting you couldnt necessarily keep your doctor. Stewart rightly mocked this by saying "As opposed to our current health care utopia where doctor and patient mate for life?!?!"
I've had to change doctors several times in the last few years. Why? Well, my employer changed health insurance companies, that was one, a Doctor of mine retired, that was two, and I moved, that was three.
Health insurance plans changed before the ACA. They would have continued to change without it.
You're trying to force a point that isnt there. Whats more, the OP is more than capable of paying for a better policy. We've already established that the minimum the OP earns is $46,000 a year based on how much you have to earn as an individual to not be eligible for subsidies.
