White House Website Still Claims You Can Keep Your Health Plan if You Like it
Many are finding out the hard way that's not true
The president's 24-minute sit-down with NBC's Chuck Todd was meant to close a chapter of the Obamacare Crisis. You didn't think the man with whom the Buck Stops was angry and regretful about cancelled individual insurance plans? He is! "We weren't as clear as we needed to be in terms of the changes that were taking place," said the president. "And I want to do everything we can to make sure that people are finding themselves in a good position—a better position than they were before this law happened."
It took some coaxing for Todd to get the president to an apology. (He was totally unsuccessful at getting the president to back a specific legislative response to the canceled plans.)

"...before this law happened."
Way to give yourself away, dude. Doesn't he have any coaches? Probably does, but just doesn't listen to them.
"This never made a ton of sense?if the insurer is responding to a government regulation, how is the government blameless??"
It never made any sense. It's like the 'moisturizing' claims for womens' cosmetics; soothing words, zero content.
