Obama: regrets not 'as clear as we needed to be' on Obamacare pledge

U.S. President Barack Obama speaks about Affordable Health Care to volunteers at the Temple Emanu-El in Dallas By Steve Holland and Roberta Rampton WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama apologized on Thursday to Americans who are losing their healthcare insurance policies, saying in an interview that he regrets that "we weren't as clear as we needed to be" about Obamacare healthcare reforms. Obama's expression of regret was aimed at placating Americans whose insurance plans are being canceled in spite of his oft-repeated pledge that if people liked their health plans, they would be able to keep them under Obamacare. "We weren't as clear as we needed to be, in terms of the changes that were taking place," Obama told NBC News. Obama has been lambasted by angry Americans who are surprised to lose policies they thought would be grandfathered under Obamacare, as well as Republicans who oppose the law, and Democrats who are angry at the botched rollout of the signature reforms they supported.
