Frankly, I don't know whether "Preferred Care" is a company or a type of policy. It's clear that the policy coverage is being discontinued because it is in violation of requirements of the Affordable Care Act. But does anyone know or can explain how those policies are in violation or what terms in those policies are now unacceptable? Have those whose policies been cancelled been told why?

Can anyone fill the rest of us in on what's happening? Please don't answer with a rant against the ACA. Just try to be specific on what content of the Preferred Care policies are in violation of ACA.
I received a similar letter from BlueCross. It gave no other reason than it was necessary to comply with the ACA. I am sure that my current plan did not pay for birth control, abortions, etc. Also my current plan took into consideration my pre-existing conditions and the new plans must be issued ignoring those which simply means more premium. Blue Cross did say that I could be enrolled in a new plan for another $500 per month.
