>>Obama speaks to it directly here:

>>Clearly he knew and admitted so back in February 2010. However, he thought the deal those 8 or 9 million people would get on the exchange would be better. Clearly >>that video contradicts these clips:

In another post you call me silly for responding directly to somebody's words. Apparently context is allowed unless you're the President- or me.

What I asked, was for evidence that Obama knew that insurers would cancel policies. Neither of your clips shows this.

To address the point: everybody who cared to look, knew that lousy policies could not survive the ACA. Pre-existing and other exclusions and big deductibles no longer are allowed. However, and in no small part to thwart Republican Chicken-Littles, there was a Grandfather period so people who want to keep a lousy policy, can. A reasonable person would expect that while mom and pop may be anxious about keeping their jalopy, once they realize they could have a new Chevvy for similar cost, they no longer want the Jalopy. People now insist that Obama knew that insurers would repossess the Jalopy without offering the Chevvy first. I'm not prepared to suspend disbelief enough to believe that he did it.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.

-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
