I lost my individual healthcare plan, and I couldn’t afford the new ones. Remember when they said you could keep your plan? Yeah, that’s the one I lost.

Would you have been able to keep your plan under the system before ACA? There’s a lot of context missing in your comment.
I'm curious as to how your experience actually using the plan for more than preventive coverage? IIRC, plans before the ACA had a ton of customer unfriendly provisions which made the insurance far less usable in practice. E.g. denying coverage for preexisting conditions.
There was never a guarantee that you were going to keep your plan anyway, was there? Insurance companies are changing plans from year to year.
The plan was cancelled because of ACA requirements. I had had it for several years prior. Yes, plans change, but this was different.
Which requirements made them cancel it? Was it a high deductible scam plan?

It’s reminiscent of the screeching about how single payer healthcare would have death panels deciding who lived or died like that’s not a word for word description of insurance company actuaries or financial employees making the same decisions.
