people are losing their health insurance, Democrats are starting to come clean.  Sort of.  Via Jonathan Strong, here is Minority Whip Steny Hoyer this morning:

“We knew that there would be some policies that would not qualify and therefore people would be required to get more extensive coverage,” Hoyer said in response to a question from National Review.

Asked by another reporter how repeated statements by Obama to the contrary weren’t “misleading,” Hoyer said “I don’t think the message was wrong. I think the message was accurate.

Uh-huh.  Next time the quarterback on your favorite football team overthrows a receiver, see if after the game he says his pass was “accurate, just not precise enough.”

Last thing: Yesterday I noted that nearly 1.5 million people were receiving insurance cancellation notices.  CBS now confirms that the number is at least 2 million.
