Title: Pelosi’s painful, embarrassing re-write of her own promise on health care

When David Gregory brings up her own “if you like your plan you can keep it” pledge, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tries to redefine the promise — and change the subject as quickly as possible.

He doesn’t let her.

Note how she also tries to skirt around the fact that plans are being cancelled even for people who held them before the ACA passed in 2010. It’s true that’s not specifically spelled out in the law — that’s spelled out in regulations that the Obama administration wrote after the law passed, which made it far less likely that old policies could be grandfathered.
