A blunt critique from Bill Clinton on President Obama's handling of the rocky ObamaCare rollout is prompting the White House to pledge another set of health law fixes -- though in doing so, it could inadvertently build the case for those calling for a delay in the law's implementation.
Aside from scrambling to fix the broken HealthCare.gov website, the administration is now trying to deal with the millions of Americans who have received cancellation notices. On Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said the president's team is trying to figure out a way to offer relief to some of those policyholders.
The statement comes after former President Clinton, in an interview with the site Ozy.com, said Obama should live up to his promise to Americans that if they like their health plans, they can keep them.
"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," Clinton said.

There is no fixing ObamaCare, but they can surely destroy our health care system!
How imaginative.
First you increases taxes on people to collect more money. And then (this is inspired!) you give those same people a portion of their money back to subsidize their healthcare insurance.
Why can't I think up great ideas like this???
Insert-twist-smile.
“Repeal or nothing.”
Seems so obvious to us rogue conservatives. That’s why I am expecting any day to hear The Orange Crier declare a compromise to delay for six months...regardless of the needs of Big Insurance.
The democrats have wholesale destroyed American Healthcare. The longer this goes on, the more wealth is lost. While the marxists want “control” over us, there won’t be much left to even control when the country tailspins into something worse than a depression.
Another Obama-created excuse to extort more tax money to finance his ObanaCare Wealth Redistribution Scam.
All that the Democrats are talking about is offering more subsidies, temporary subsidies, at that.
The high cost of Obamacare is the least of the problems that Americans face with the loss of their health insurance coverage, more important than cost is the loss of access to their doctors, hospitals and specialists.
We heard on Rush, this morning, that Obamcare offers a list of approved doctors and even if your doctor is within your district, he may not be on that list. It seems that not only will patients lose access to their doctors, but some doctors may not be permitted to see patients in their district. My guess is that some doctors will be forced to re-locate to what Obamacare pushers call the “under-served” urban areas if they want to remain in medicine.
The Republicans should be forcing the Democrats to support this mess. They should push a bill that would stop implementation until a committee could analyze the law, and rules and create a simple report on the impact of the law on the public. They could call it, The Truth in Legislating Law as an aside to Obama, Pelosi, and Reid. Hopefully we could get enough concervatives in office to repeal it before the report was finished.
Additional subsidies have to go through congress and all the GOP has to do is sit back and demand the whole program be delayed while they “research” the additional cost.
According to Ronald Reagan, what are the nine most terrifying words in the English language?
Also, what should one do when one’s sworn enemy is digging themselves into a hole?
Of course the GOP-e will rush in when summoned and start owning this mess because GOP establisment leaders like McCain are closet Democrats.
Consequently, when they call for help from conservatives, we hand them a shovel. There’s plenty of s*** to spread around with this Beltway Obamapalooza .... and this B&O trainwreck is just now coming off the rails.
You have to think like a crook. i.e. Politician.
Clinton’s getting worried that Obama may stink up the joint so badly that it will hurt Hillary’s chances. And his, of becoming “First Gentleman”.
Why would they offer relief??!!
They've made the claim over and over again, that those with canceled policies will be BETTER OFF.
So which is it? Will we be better off - or do we need relief?
Revenge is a dish best served five-years cold, eh, Barry?
Actually frightened Dems are probably already plotting some kind of repeal, and they’ve called in Bubba to start working Barry over so, at the end of the day, he won’t veto it.
Obama may be concerned about being indicted. This is a clear case of fraud.
