A Fix Too Late?

From the BBC:
"President Obama announces 'Obamacare' fix"

US President Barack Obama has announced a one-year reprieve for millions of Americans facing cancellation of their health insurance policies under his embattled healthcare law. He said insurers could extend individually purchased plans that would otherwise be cancelled. The president had vowed Americans who liked their policies could keep them while pushing for the law's passage.

"We fumbled the rollout on this healthcare law," he said.   In recent weeks insurance companies have sent letters to their customers announcing cancellation of coverage that does not meet the Affordable Care Act's strict new requirements for policies sold on the individual private market. While Mr Obama said on Thursday that those people could keep their old plans, he encouraged them to shop around for better, more cost-effective coverage. Under the change announced on Thursday, insurance companies that extend those plans will be required to inform customers of which medical care they do not cover, and inform them that other insurance options offering more coverage may be available.
Mr Obama also said he expected to have to "win back" credibility and the "confidence" of the American people in the wake of ongoing healthcare issues. Meanwhile, the Obama administration is still struggling to fix ongoing glitches with the healthcare.gov website, established by the law to enable consumers who do not get health insurance from their employers or from the government to shop for private plans. Among other issues, the site has been plagued by long wait times to sign up for an insurance plan and serious flaws on the back end where customers' data are processed and sent to insurance companies. The problems have proven so severe that fewer than 27,000 people in 36 US states have successfully enrolled in healthcare programs on the site since it launched on 1 October.

^ I wouldn't call this a great fix since it still makes his statement that people who already had insurance could keep it a lie. New polls show that Americans are finally waking up and seeing him for what he really is. Not only is his professional approval rating at an all time low, but his personal approval rating shows that people do not trust him. It's clear he has a G-d mentality and thinks he can do no wrong yet Obamacare's provisions and roll-out shows that is not the case. All those that voted for his health care law and are now backtracking on it are just as guilty - they can't blame his promises since they didn't read the bill before voting for it. I still believe this is just the beginning of the whole law falling apart since it wasn't made nor roll-out correctly. ^
