White House blinks . . . maybe

This article claims the Obama administration is thinking of patching up the grandfathering problem on existing health insurance coverage for another year or more.

I suppose this might make me feel better if my former insurance company had not decided to leave the health insurance market altogether.

administration may let policyholders keep that coverage for as long as an additional three years

Dare I ask: based on what law?

And a follow-up, if you please--or even if you don't: what about those who've already had their plans canceled? Will those canceled plans be...reinstated? Including those of folks like raven, who is hardly alone in that situation?

And one more follow-up, just because I'm a greedy Conservative: what about those soon-to-be-canceled, from, oh, say, employer-provided plans?

Separate question: since the pieces of the law that we're individually delaying (sort of a New Model individual mandate) aggregate to the whole law, can we just rescind the whole thing?
