"Rather than (foolishly) try to ensure that nobody could ever lose their insurance, the actual Affordable Care Act accelerated the demise of a certain class of plan. Politically, that's now an embarrassment for the White House. Substantively, it's a huge achievement. The ACA cracks down on insurance rescission...Since insurance companies now won't be allowed to collect premiums while you're healthy only to yank coverage when you get sick, they have no choice but to pre-emptively cancel plans that wouldn't be financially beneficial to actually pay out." Matthew Yglesias in Slate
