I think he was speaking from the Government's perspective, and he failed to make that clear because he thought it was obvious! Most rational people, however, would have assumed he could only speak for the Government and not every insurance broker out there.
And after having heard the basic tenants the Affordable Care Act required for three years, one would think if anyone had a policy that did not meet those standards, he or she would know either the broker would have to update that policy or discontinue it. Really, it shouldn't take a mental giant to discern that if his or her policy did not cover the parameters outlined, that policy would have to be brought up to those standards or be discontinued. For instance, any policy that did not cover pre-existing conditions would have to be amended to do so or it could not be grandfathered into the ACA.
