I was under the impression that there's already a grandfather clause in place for non-compliant plans

so I don't really see how this changes things, beyond allowing the GOP to score cheap political points

Responses:

There's substantial turnover in plans that would remove them from the grandfathering - Will Hunting Oct 30, 12:22 5
- Eh. IMO they knew that there was a substantial turnover in plans and terms, and they set rules that allowed for people to keep grandfathered plans. - pmb Oct 30, 12:27 4
  - 7 to 12 million people getting cancellation notices is not a blip. -- nm - Inigo Oct 30, 12:29 3
    - They didn't meet the criteria and/or the private insurers decided to change the plans. That happened with regularity before the ACA too. This is not - pmb Oct 30, 12:33 2
      - Well, sure. The difference here is that the ACA is causing these plans to go away. Which wasn't supposed to happen. -- nm - Inigo Oct 30, 12:42 1
        
        But it really was in ways that people aren't recognizing. The plans changed. Coverages changed. Costs changed. People thought they had the same - pmb Oct 30, 12:45
This explains it. I guess you haven't been paying attention to the threads you're commenting in? -- (link) - Inigo Oct 30, 12:20 9
- except, that only seems to confirm my understanding. - znufrii Oct 30, 12:28 8
  - That's not really what it says. - Inigo Oct 30, 12:33 6
    - where in that article does it say they *can't* be grandfathered? - znufrii Oct 30, 12:34 5
      - Because the policy didn't exist before 2010. -- nm - Inigo Oct 30, 12:35 4
        
        we're talking about plans, not policies. I think you may be confusing the two, though I'm by no means an expert - znufrii Oct 30, 12:42
        
        My understanding (though I admit the limited nature of my knowledge on this) is that if you were continuing the same plan it was grandfathered. - pmb Oct 30, 12:40 2
        
        yeah, from my experience very few plans remain unchanged year-over-year -- nm - decline Oct 30, 12:41 1
        
        I agree. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 30, 12:41
  - so how would this grandfathering plan differ from the one already in place? -- nm - znufrii Oct 30, 12:29
