Some people got letters saying their health insurance plans were canceled because of the ACA. That's probably just a lie. The people who sold you cheap junk insurance for profit, the people who cancel your plan when you get sick, without mental health coverage, the people who are in it for the money, are not being perfectly honest.
The ACA allows existing plans to remain in force.
Here's an article that explains how that works.
