Actually, we could easily continue at the present rate and were satisfied with the current plan. Now the plan is not the same and someone else is paying her bill, someone whose payments have multiplied by the same factor hers have been reduced.
You can't really say your policy was fine till you actually go to use it and that was when the insurance companies were consistently refusing to pay out on many types of treatments.
The insurance companies used "being a female" as a "pre-existing condition".
Many women have died at the hands of insurance companies refusing to pay for treatments.

Insurance cancelled? Don't blame Obama or the ACA, blame America's insurance companies

The fact is if you are one of the estimated 2 million Americans whose health insurance plans may have been cancelled this month, you should not be blaming President Obama or the Affordable Care Act.
You should be blaming your insurance company because they have not been providing you with coverage that meets the minimum basic standards for health care.
Let me put it more bluntly: your insurance companies have been taking advantage of you and the Affordable Care Act puts in place consumer protection and tells them to stop abusing people.
Comment: Consider Neo, if insurance companies would cancel your policy due to the ACA, they would have also canceled it due to an illness...
Better for this to come out now than when you really needed help.
You can thank President Obama for uncovering this insurance scam YOU have been paying for...

The Real Story Behind the Phony Canceled Health Insurance Scandal
Insurance companies ripped off Americans for years with lousy health plans. Obama care was designed to fix that.
In 2009, when President Barack Obama first promised that people who liked their insurance coverage would be able to keep it under the Affordable Care Act, he overlooked one critical fact: Many of the health policies that Americans like are terrible insurance plans that were created to scam consumers.
