appreciate it. back at home, president obama has delayed key parts of his landmark health care law. new reports he may announce another major delay perhaps to ease midterm pressure on democrats? the hill is citing sources saying the white house will announce as early as this week that insurers can continue offering plans that don t meet minimum coverage standards. this move is expected to prevent another wave of policy cancellations expected to happened around the time of the midterm elections and when democratic candidates are going to be the most vulnerable. the president s budget plan is set to be relieved today setting up another battle how the government should aid the poor and help jobless americans. the president is expected to expand by eliminating tax breaks for the wealthiest americans and the president is expected to propose billions in manufacturing and job training and education and along with 28 billion for defense programs. house budget chair paul ryan is working on hi
coverage. if you made it through the first round of policy cancellations under obamacare, you still might not be in the clear. jim ingle tells us a lot more of you will learn if you like your policy, that doesn t mean you can keep your policy. president obama delayed the inevitable by postponing the employer mandate by a year and urging that cancelled individual policies in 2013 be extended into 2014, but the reprieve ends this year for both the president and millions of policy holders. it s going to be millions of people, and it s probably going to be tens of millions of people, but one thing we re sure of, there will be more cancellations this fall than there were last fall. and people will probably be getting the cancellation letters about the time they re going to the polls in november of 2014. andy and his family in louisville, kentucky, were facing a tripling of their costs until their insurance company let them extend their policy for a year with the president s blessing
care. this was entirely in the control of the white house. and yet, still so badly bungled. at least he had the courage to admit it, greg. the president didn t mention the botched website or the policy cancellations, and what really struck me is he said we have to fix it. because he broke it. yeah. the interesting thing is he makes a case for a lot of things. including obamacare, without ever tying it to any real solution. it s that fake straining of his voice he does in a way to convince you that he s right without having to back it. he s like a speech version of an air guitar. he s playing but not really doing it, and then he says this is going to be a year of action, which is kind of not a promise but a threat. it s like he s going to say, you just wait. i m going to make obamacare look like the kitten bowl. or the puppy bowl. the washington post fact checked

nina? obamacare goes to the heart of the questions about the president s governance. raised the right track, wrong track issue. less negativism about the country right after obama was elected. just the wrong track just goes off the charts. largely over obamacare and this whole sense that is he not decisive and not honest because of the saying you can keep your own healthcare and keep your own doctors. that s really hurt him. he should take this opportunity to try to reestablish his credibility on the issue. my sense is he doesn t want to go down that route too far. it s politically fraught still, there is questions about warehouse sustainable the system is with more sick people than healthy people signing up. there is all these questions about whether your personal data is secure. the security threats being raised. there is a prospect of more policy cancellations down the road.
