WASHINGTON (AP) — Seeking to calm a growing furor, President Barack Obama said Thursday hes sorry Americans are losing health insurance plans he repeatedly said they could keep under his signature health care law. But the president stopped short of apologizing for making those promises in the first place. I am sorry that they are finding themselves in this situation based on assurances they got from me, he said in an interview with NBC News. Signaling possible tweaks to the law, Obama said his administration was working to close some of the holes and gaps that were causing millions of Americans to get cancellation letters. Officials said he was referring to fixes the administration can make on its own, not legislative options some congressional lawmakers have proposed. Weve got to work hard to make sure that they know we hear them, and we are going to do everything we can to deal with folks who find themselves in a tough position as a consequence of this, Obama said.
