The ACA set minimum standards for plan offerings, the insurance companies can no longer offer the stripped down plans.

I'm not clear on exactly how they are "swindling" people. The law prohibits them from offering those cheaper plans. A plan to replace it is of course going to cost more since it offers many more services.

I'm amazed that people are shocked by plans being cancelled and prices going up in some cases, many people predicted those exact things and were dismissed.
