And likely any company continuing policies is likely to anticipate that people with expensive medical needs will be sticking with their policies.

But I think that they also have to get approval for their Summary of Benefits and other plan documents.

Furthermore, for plans with lists of providers, they have to go out and sign up doctors, clinics, specialists, hospitals, etc. for the plan for 2014.
