It was my understanding that you would be able to keep your present insurance company if you wish. Not true? Just wondering.

the letter was sent by current insurance company and states
"The ACA will affect you health insurance plan. Your current policy will end on 3/31/2014. Therefore you will need to buy a new plan..."
It does state I can purchase an ACA plan from any insurer in the market, or on your state's Health Insurance Exchange.
my issue is not where I have to buy a plan but rather that the ACA is taking my plan from me! A plan I purchased in 1999 and for which I have always timely paid $1200 per month premiums for many years now which provided coverage at least covering the essential stuff then some...no annual deductible. A plan the coverage of which no longer is option for me at all.
PS the letter does say "We're here to help...call member services" which quite frankly is quite a joke as member services are the most incompetent, dismissive, condescending and unhelpful representatives I have ever dealt with!
