"In comments filed in August and December 2010, America's Health Insurance Plans -- a trade group representing 1,300 insurance plans -- urged the administration to 'reconsider' grandfathering rules because they were too stringent to allow many to keep their policies.

"In the first round of comments, AHIP stated that under the administration's proposed regulations, 'The percentage of individual market policies losing grandfathered status ... will likely exceed the 40-67 percent range' and warned that could cause 'disruptions' for those who wish to keep their policies.

"When those proposed rules weren't changed, AHIP again wrote in December, 'We believe that more can and should be done to protect the interests of consumers who wish to maintain their existing coverage.'"
