President Obama has apologized to Americans who are losing their current health insurance plans under his health reform law, despite his repeated assurances they could keep their policies. Obama issued the apology in an interview with NBC News.

President Obama: “I am sorry that they are finding themselves in this situation based on assurances they got from me. We’ve got to work hard to make sure that they know we hear them and that we’re going to do everything we can to deal with folks who find themselves in a tough position as a consequence of this.”

The Obama administration is reportedly set today to release long-awaited rules requiring equal insurance coverage for mental health and addiction.
