Very true. A lot of those affected had solid coverage with grandfathered rates. So many insurance companies are dumping them and making them start over with much higher rates for the same coverage. If I was one of them, I would be angry, too.
Many others are getting better coverage with lower rates. (This includes my wife)
A lot has to do with the age of those affected and their individual insurance carriers. It's going take awhile for all of this to shake out.
Unfortunately the godawful bolluxed up Healthcare.gov site is going to drag this out for much longer, and many
people who ought to be signing up.. will not the first year, especially the young.
So January of 2015 it will be very interesting to see how the rates shake out, if the majority of participants are older subscribers with various medical conditions.

I was a lukewarm supporter of the ACA (I favored universal single payer).
Now I am a bit skeptical of the ACA. Too bad.
