Former President Bill Clinton said that President Obama should keep his pledge to allow people to keep their current health care plans, if they like them, under Obamacare:

"So I personally believe, even if it takes a change to the law, the president should honor the commitment the federal government made to those people and let them keep what they got," said Clinton in a recent interview.

Clinton has, in general, been a strong supporter of Obamacare.

While not as direct as Jesse's nut cutting gesture, the drip continues.  I'm sure as with most autocrats however, he will tighten, rather than loosen his grip.  Can anybody say Cescauscu?

Letting people keep their existing policies would make the cost of policies that do comply w/ Obamacare go to the moon...

Well, depends upon whether the President is dem or Republican.  Dems have more power as the media is always supportive.
