>Everybody who cared to look, knew that lousy policies could not survive the ACA. Pre-existing and other exclusions and big deductibles no longer are allowed. The estimate was ? 8M policies. However, there was a Grandfather period so people who want to keep alousy policy, can. A reasonable person would expect that while mom and pop may be anxious about keeping their jalopy, once they realize they could have a new Chevvy for similar cost, they no longer want the Jalopy. Obama did not expect that insurers would tow away the Jalopy in advance.

Where I differ with your statement is assuming that those who lost their policies, lost them because they were jalopies. I know of several where that was not the case. Now that could be insurance companies using the ACA to cancel policies that were not financially beneficial to them and when the extension was recently approved they offered those same policies for another year at a 200-250% increase in cost to the insured in order to maintain their financial objectives.
