Obama appears to be making some changes to accommodate
those whose "non-ACA-compliant" policies were canceled in 2013.
In his talk today, there were a couple of places where he seemed to be
parsing his words very carefully.
One was when he described the specific policies that would be "grandfathered",
and his sentence ended with something like "and will expire in 2014".
... maybe I heard it wrong.
He also said these insurance providers would have to notify their policy holders
of the specific ways in which these policies do NOT meet the
requirements of the ACA.
I do hope, however, that as part of this political concession, these changes
do not include either the subsidies or the tax credits that are available
in the exchanges for some, based on their income.
Of course, that would undoubtedly set off another chorus of "LIAR"
