President Obama got into a lot of hot water by promising repeatedly “If you like you current health care plan, you can keep it. Period.” Of course, that was impossible because Health and Human Services wrote a whole bunch of regulations that specified the minimum coverage that could be offered, and a lot of the less expensive plans didn’t meet all the required minimums.
So now, after a lot of uproar, the President has tried to recover politically by promising an administrative fix that allows (but does not require) insurance companies to extend those “sub-standard” plans through 2014.
I wonder how long it will take the Democrats to catch on to the fact that, with the new extension, all those cancellation letters will be going out again just about this time next year, just before the elections? Not too smart!!
