There’s not much outrage when insurers drop and change their coverages with employer-subsidized insurance products - it happens all the time.

The GOP would bitch if insurers were forced to keep these grandfathered plans, claiming that they were substandard if they thought it would give them an advantage.

The insurers are deciding to drop the plans and switch to plans that conform to the ACA requirements, which is a far better insurance product, but the GOP’s got to bitch about that too.

Not because people are getting a product that is far more useful from the insurer, but because they received letters saying that their insurance policies are not being kept going into 2014.

As is no one has ever seen their policies be changed by their employer or the insurance companies based on economic decisions they’ve made.

Cost may be an issue for some people, but I doubt anyone who’s complaining has actually run the numbers to see how they compare in the real world and that these new policies would protect people from economic harms when they suffered illnesses - especially those requiring hospitalization.
