If not, the promise about nobody losing their insurance is laughable.

Its sort-of laughable even if they keep the subsidies, or even if they make no changes at all. People lose their insurance some times, you can''t realistically promise to keep that from happening. Even if you outlaw dropping anyone, companies can go out of business. I suppose you could impose single payer, of course in that process many millions of people would lose their insurance but after that unless the whole system collapses, or the politics change so much that its done away with, people don't lose their insurance. Not that I favor single payer (meaning federal government payer) but its the only way I can think of to have no one lose their coverage. (And that only after it fully goes in to effect, not from the moment when you pass it.)
