The reason why this is factually inaccurate .. and bullshit ... is ..
"The Secretary" writes and publishes the REGULATIONS and the REGULATIONS establish the standards for "acceptable coverage" for purposes of the ACA.
#2, IF ONE READS the ACA .. (and I made this observation BEFORE IT WAS SIGNED) the provisions regarding JUDICIAL REVIEW are extremely limited.
#3: The insurance company is PROHIBITED from selling a policy that DOES NOT COMPLY WITH REGULATIONS ..
#3: NO ONE HAS A POLICY THAT EXISTED IN 2010!!!!
LET ME REPEAT .. NO ONE!
MINE, AND YOURS, WILL BE A "NEW POLICY" EFFECTIVE JAN 1ST!

If they had, then the law would have backed up his campaign promise. Using 2010 for the year has created a technicality, which they can't easily get around. The insurance companies are saying your policy can't be continued because it has changed since 2010. That's the technicality you have by using the wrong year. It's just like what Obama said in the NBC interview with regards to keeping your old policy if wanted to, that part of the law was not written tight enough.
