i'm not sure how they can manage to shift blame to the insurance companies, after the govt. mandated what plans had to include. note in the last paragraph:

The insurance industry is hardly thrilled about President Obama’s proposal. In a meeting at the White House on Friday, 15 insurance industry representatives expressed concern that the extension could solve one problem while creating another by making it more difficult to get healthy, young people to sign up for health plans, which is considered essential to the law’s success, reports Bloomberg. Advocates for the insurance industry have also warned that “premiums could begin soaring in 2015” if those who were going to be joining Obamacare’s exchanges end up keeping substandard policies, notes Reuters.


of course it will alter their outlook on policies and premiums.
this law is going to be like whack a mole.

posting this because of some of the other info involved as well....

While the president’s plan sounded like a simple fix, it rattled the insurance industry, which had set prices for next year based on many of its products changing to comply with the health-care law. Allowing some plans to continue beyond Jan. 1 could also run afoul of provisions in laws passed by dozens of states and the District to implement the Affordable Care Act.


a statement issued by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners that said the Obama order “threatens to undermine the new market, and may lead to higher premiums and market disruptions in 2014 and beyond.”

Yep, he thought you could flip a switch with 6 weeks to go. Thoughtful.
