Right now, it is more likely that your sister has received a cancellation letter.

How do you come to that conclusion?

The 3 to 5 million estimated people who have received cancellation letters have a lot of friends and relatives.

True ... And the vast majority of those friends and relatives are/will be unaffected or benefitted by the ACA.

And hopefully, those friends and relatives will tell their friend/relative that got the cancellation notice to look to the exchange and get a better policy, even if it means having to pay more.
