The write up on this new topic begins:
Further down, the post states:
They can make changes to your plan to provide these benefits. If they do, you’ll see these changes to your plan by the time you renew during 2014. For example, if your renewal date is in July 2014, you’ll see the changes no later than July.
Your insurance company may decide to offer you other individual plans rather than renew the particular plan that you have today.
While the post says that “insurance companies offering individual plans have two choices,” this does not take into account that some insurance companies will simply choose to cancel the plan and not offer any alternatives, as some have already done.
President Obama and his supporters have been insisting since before the Affordable Care Act was signed into law that if “you like your plan,” you can keep it. Now that the Marketplaces are open, the administration is finally acknowledging that that will not always be the case.
