8. I don't care for that talking point

In the real world the insurance companies offered a product. The ACA mandated they discontinue offering that product, so the cancelled those policies.

How is it incorrect to say those policies were cancelled because of the minimum coverage requirements in the law (which are great by the way)? The law did cause those policies to be cancelled, and there are better policies available because of it.

The original "if you like your plan and doctor you'll get to keep them" talking point was incorrect in hindsight, but it did sound reassuring at the time.
