It doesn’t look sincere. It looks like someone told him, “you are tanking badly, you need to do something”.

WaPo makes the most important point-that the cancellations are a functional part of the Obama plan, they were not unanticipated or a “mistake”.

President Obama is offering an apology to Americans who have received insurance cancellation notices–sort of.

In an interview with NBC News, the president says “I’m sorry” to Americans who are losing their health plans.

“I am sorry that they are finding themselves in this situation based on assurances they got from me,” he told NBC News in an exclusive interview at the White House.

What Obama isn’t offering is an apology for the cancellation notices themselves. Eliminating certain health plans from the market — ones that the White House thinks are too skimpy — is a feature, not a bug, of the Affordable Care Act. You can read more about that here in our FAQ on why about 7 million to 12 million health plans are being terminated under the Affordable Care Act.

So here's my follow up question: Now that you've apologized, how are you going to make it so these people can get back on their policies they liked? OH wait, you're not???

Currently: 4.2 Million cancelled policies (per Megyn Kelly)

Here's my question: In the future, how many more policies are going to blow up?

He's lying with is "mistake" apology as well. It's all part of the plan.

an obamacare supporter JUST said at least 15 M.. I've seen numbers to say 32-40Million.

Jack the Ripper had more regret.

Falling way short of an apology.

All of them. In the near future.

Don't you rubes get it?

He HAD to lie, or it never would have passed in a million years, and it HAD to pass.

Us rubes know, have known since he first said it.
Seems like Obama felt like the old Johnny Horton line in
his song, "Sink the Bismark"
"We gotta sink the Bismark boys, that's making such a fuss,
we gotta sink the Bismark, the world depends on us."

The apology isn't going to cut it. The fact that the admin didn't foresee the fact that many would be forced into new higher cost higher deductible plans is just screams of incompetence and having someone with no business experience in charge. If they didn't foresee that, there's no telling what else they didn't foresee. Imagine we'll have more apologies coming but nothing done to actually fix the underlying issues.

The political side of me says let's implement this as intended.

I hate to use the words of Lenin but "the worse things are the better things are."

They foresaw it. They just lied.

Maybe, but I honestly think they may not of had a clue, which is scarier than them having lied about it.

Great line in the comment section from Larry in Santa Fe.

Obamacare is a major clusterf&*k. Many have known this from the beginning, now the rest are finally finding out they were fed a bag of lies and it's tearing them up inside to admit it to themselves.

Anyone with any semblance of knowledge of economics and human nature KNEW it would not work. The only way they will force the young and healthy into to pool is by making the "fine" for not joining more expensive than actually joining. If the young and healthy don't voluntarily bend over and take it up the behind by paying triple what they should - the whole thing becomes financially untenable without government (taxpayer) prop-ups.

Why would someone that is young with no known health issues not just pay the $95 fine - then if they get cancer, sign up after the fact since they can't be denied for pre-existing conditions. For $95 tons of people will roll the dice.

Note - the above doesn't even get into the doctor shortage THAT WILL BE COMING.

Many Republicans have been mocked and ridiculed for offering opposition to the Zero's agenda. It was the most incessant from the media and the water carriers. Liberals lied and hide the truth in such an unabashed manor like I have never seen. Will there be any accountability? Not fron the Zero Administration, not in a million years. Wheather voters hold them accountable remains to be seen. Dirty Harry, Pelosi and Obama are at the top of the liars heap.

Yep, and it's ALLL the supporters to suck up and own... Nobody else wanted this sh*t. But tea partiers were the terrorists who held the country hostage since they were trying to stop it.

Yeah...
