[quote=SD Realtor]If they did then I never heard it. What I heard, over and over and over again, was if you like your policy you will be able to keep it. I heard this again, and again, and again.
Sorry, not a single time did I ever, ever hear, that if you like your policy but if it considered substandard by the standards set out in this legislation, and it changes at all, it will need to be cancelled because it cannot be offered under the new legislation.
Sorry that was never ever said.[/quote]
Not the substandard policies part. But that people would lose their coverage? Absolutely. He said it on national television. And when he said that nobody would lose their coverage, he made it clear he was saying that nothing in the law would require people to change policies. And nothing does. Because the government isn’t issuing the policies, private insurers are. This same discussion was had immediately after the law was passed. There’s no surprises now. This is exactly what was expected.
