In reply to the discussion: Obama says he's sorry Americans losing insurance [View all]crim son
(27,552 posts)36. This was obvious to me from day one
and therefore should have been obvious to the Administration. The promise could have been that if your POS insurance company drops you, you will get a better deal by taking advantage of the ACA. Instead the fact that insurers are scum was totally ignored. This isn't the first time that the Administration has struck me as extremely naïve, but whatever. It could have been handled differently and now Dems will pay the price, in the short term at least.
Edited to say, by "POS" I do not mean "point of service."

Kinda tough to realize a post is irrelevant and pushing an agenda until after one reads it...

That's not an apology. Not sure why anyone assumed he would or should apologise.
