is because they couldn't charge more for them since they were substandard. They didn't have to cancel the policies, they just couldn't raise their rates.

Instead of putting the blame on the companies where it belongs, they are blaming the Affordable Care Act. And yes, any new policies have to actually include health care, something a 58 year old lawyer certainly needs and should be able to afford.
