In reply to the discussion: I supported the ACA, but my policy that I like is being cancelled because of it. [View all]Sancho
(9,173 posts)if a company quit issuing a policy (they do this on a regular basis), they had the option to continue any policy issued before 2010. It was a company decision to cancel for economic reasons and nothing else. The company had the ability to grandfather in any policy that previously existed.
Every time I hear these stories (at least in the individual cases that I've followed), there was ALWAYS a better policy for a similar or lower prices.
If you had a cut-rate and useless policy that covered nothing, you might have to pay a little more for a much better policy. The less income you have, the more likely that ACA policies are better and cheaper.
I'd really like you to give more details including the state you are in and exactly which ACA plans costs so much more...otherwise you are either mistaken or need some help investigating the plan.
You cannot take you insurance companies word for the "costs" because they will LIE and try to sign you up NOW for something that is not as good as the ACA exchange.
