Default Grandfathered plans

It appears there 'is a provision in the "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" section 1251 entitled "preservation of right to maintain existing coverage" and which states "nothing in the act shall be construed to require that an individual terminate coverage under a group health plan or health insurance coverage in which such individual was enrolled on the date of enactment of this Act. " There is also reference made to grandfathered plans...which I think would be something I want to do...

I need to read more - the Act is about 1,000 pages - but am hopeful there may be something in the Act which provides protection for situations like mine. It seems to me there be some sort of protection in it but based on the letter from my insurance company they make it seem as if the Act is terminating the coverage.

I am hopeful there might be a way to reject the termination letter and instead claim my right to continue with my current policy. I will post more as I learn more.
