The recent article stated that some 1.5 million plus would be getting cancellation notices from their health insurance carriers.

   There is a multiplier that should be applied to this number, as most of these policies are for families, not individuals.  Let's be conservative (in the statistical sense) and say that the average family is Mom, Pop, and two offspring. 

   So in reality the figure should be 6 million.
