12: As you may have heard, many Americans who purchase their own health insurance have received notices fromhealth insurers that their policies may be cancelled. Some say these cancellations will improve individual healthinsurance policies because they require health plans to meet the minimum standards of the 2010 health care law.Others say these cancellations show the President has broken his promise that Americans can keep their current healthinsurance if they like it.With whom do you agree more?

19: This week, President Obama announced, as a result of the cancellation notices, that insurance companies couldcontinue for another year to offer plans that do not meet minimum standards for benefits set under the 2010 healthcare law. Do you believe this is a sign that Obamais willing to improve a flawed provision of the law, or do you believethis is a sign the broader law is flawed?
