Don't Blame the ACA for cancelled insurance - THE INSURANCE COMPANIES Business Decision

The fact is if you are one of the estimated 2 million Americans whose health insurance plans may have been cancelled this month, you should not be blaming President Obama or the Affordable Care Act.
You should be blaming your insurance company because they have not been providing you with coverage that meets the minimum basic standards for health care.
Let me put it more bluntly: your insurance companies have been taking advantage of you and the Affordable Care Act puts in place consumer protection and tells them to stop abusing people.

One of the most popular and important provisions of the Affordable Care Act is setting basic minimum standards of medical insurance coverage. Here are some of those standards:
- Your insurance company is no longer allowed to cancel your policy if you get sick
- Your insurance company cannot deny you coverage or charge you more if you have a pre-existing health condition
- Your insurance company must allow you to keep your children on your plan until they turn 26 years old or get a job that provides health insurance.
- Your insurance company cannot impose lifetime caps on you health coverage.
