President Barack Obama has directed his aides to pursue “administrative
solutions” that would halt the cancellations of individual insurance
policies that are resulting from his healthcare law.
“The president did acknowledge that there are some gaps in the law
that need to be repaired,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest told
reporters traveling with Obama yesterday to an event in Louisiana, a day
after the president said he’s “sorry” some people are getting
cancellation letters from insurers.
White House staff members met at the Capitol on Friday with
representatives of top House Democrats to present ideas for changes that
wouldn’t require legislation, according to a leadership aide, who asked
not to be identified because the meeting was private.
Obama and his allies are acting to head off legislative action to
alter the Affordable Care Act, the president’s signature domestic
achievement. The Republican-controlled House is poised to vote next week on a measure that would allow healthcare plans currently available to continue into next year without penalty. Two Democratic senators,

made proposals to address signup delays and canceled policies.
