Many people lost their insurance when companies sent them notices canceling their insurance because it did not meet the higher standards of the ACA.
This was a direct result of the Obamacare as the health-care law required insurance companies to change their plans, and many companies sent notices of cancelation to people on their insurance plan. In Dec. 2013, the Urban Institute included a question in their Health Reform Monitoring Survey of adults ages 18-64. They asked “Did you receive a notice in the past few months from a health insurance company saying that your policy is cancelled or will no longer be offered at the end of 2013?” Of the 522 people polled who were covered by non-group policies, 18.6 percent said yes, their old plan would no longer be offered because it didn’t meet the new coverage standards that went into effect Jan. 1, 2013.
