Will Obamacare succeed where term limits failed?

The WaPo Fact Checker weighs in on Democrat efforts to blame the insurance companies for plan cancellations. Their assessment? 3 Pinocchios.

Blaming the insurance companies can only go so far. First of all, the administration wrote the rules that set the conditions under which plans lose their grandfathered status. But more important, the law has an effective date so far in the past that it virtually guaranteed that the vast majority of people currently in the individual market would end up with a notice saying they needed to buy insurance on the Obamacare exchanges.

Are some peoples' prices going to go up -- yes. Is it because they are going to have to acquire truly comprehensive coverage that conforms to ACA standards (hence the difference) or because the whole plan is going to be far more expensive than originally forecast so as to offset the cost of subsidies for coverage? Are the number of people facing increases significant? So far, we have a lot of anecdotal data but no hard numbers.
