Cancel and change are the same thing in this case. They cancel it and offer a different one that fits the law.

Incorrect. They are specifically allowed to amend their policies to increase benefits or to comply with the requirements of grandfathered plans.

you vs. you

You're trying to say that I admitted that he lied and intimating that I am telling you he didn't lie all at the same time.

are you forgetting that you mentioned that Obama lied about keeping your doctor

If you look at my argument, you will see that I specifically used "lie" in quotes to refer to you saying "Obama was found to be lying", not to assert the position myself. C'mon, man, you are smarter than this when you are trying.

Are you saying that you never said he didn't lie

I like trying to use words correctly, and, since an assertion of lying would mean that I knew his intent, that would not be, and has not been, my position.

if we change the definition of the words or the timeframe of when he used them he isn't a liar

- At noon: "The sun is straight up." = True

- One hour later: "The sun is straight up." = False

Yes, when you say something matters.

Helps to know what you are reading I guess.

this says that an individual does not have to cancel their current plan - this could possibly mean that the plan or the individual is grandfathered, so let's look further shall we:

the vey next sentence:

(2) CONTINUATION OF COVERAGE.—With respect to a group

health plan or health insurance coverage in which an individual

was enrolled on the date of enactment of this Act, this subtitle

and subtitle A (and the amendments made by such subtitles)

shall not apply to such plan or coverage, regardless of whether

the individual renews such coverage after such date of enactment.

This is saying that certain rules will specifically not apply to the "plan or coverage", but still might be cryptic for the less capable readers out there - let's see if there is anything better:

pg 162

DEFINITION.—In this title, the term ‘‘grandfathered health

plan’’ means any group health plan or health insurance coverage

to which this section applies.

pg 182:

(1) INDIVIDUAL MARKET.—A health insurance issuer shall

consider all enrollees in all health plans (other than grandfathered

health plans) offered by such issuer in the individual

market, including those enrollees who do not enroll in such

plans through the Exchange, to be members of a single risk

pool.

(2) SMALL GROUP MARKET.—A health insurance issuer shall

consider all enrollees in all health plans (other than grandfathered

health plans) offered by such issuer in the small

group market, including those enrollees who do not enroll in

such plans through the Exchange, to be members of a single

risk pool.

(4) STATE LAW.—A State law requiring grandfathered

health plans to be included in a pool described in paragraph

(1) or (2) shall not apply.

pg 213:

This subsection shall not apply to a grandfathered

health plan or the issuer of a grandfathered health plan with

respect to that plan.

pg 217:

Clauses (i) and (ii) shall not

apply if the employee (or any individual described in

the last sentence of clause (i)) is covered under the

eligible employer-sponsored plan or the grandfathered

health plan.

pg 248:

(D) GRANDFATHERED HEALTH PLAN.—Coverage under

a grandfathered health plan.

pg 249:

(B) any other plan or coverage offered in the small

or large group market within a State.

Such term shall include a grandfathered health plan described

in paragraph (1)(D) offered in a group market.

pg 885:

A health insurance issuer

offering group or individual health insurance coverage (including

a grandfathered health plan) shall

pg 886:

Beginning not later than January

1, 2011, a health insurance issuer offering group or individual

health insurance coverage (including a grandfathered

health plan) shall,

pg 895:

The provisions

of sections 2715 and 2718 of the Public Health Service Act

(as added by subtitle A) shall apply to grandfathered health

plans for plan years beginning on or after the date of enactment

of this Act.

But hey, there are a couple references to "grandfathered enrollees", how can we be sure that it means enrollees in a grandfathered plan??

pg 452:

(4) DEFINITION OF GRANDFATHERED ENROLLEE.—In this

subsection, the term ‘grandfathered enrollee’ means an individual

who is enrolled (effective as of the date of enactment

of this subsection) in an MA local plan in an area that is

identified by the Secretary under paragraph (1).

But how do we know that Section 1251 specifically is referring to the plan:

pg 217:

(B) GRANDFATHERED HEALTH PLAN.—The term ‘grandfathered

health plan’ has the meaning given such term

by section 1251 of the Patient Protection and Affordable

Care Act.

any more questions....?
