WASHINGTON — Former President Bill Clinton said that President Barack Obama should find a way to let people keep their health coverage, even if it means changing the new insurance law.

Clinton said Obama should “honor the commitment that the federal government made to those people and let them keep what they got.”

Obama has come under pressure in recent weeks as millions of Americans started receiving insurance cancellation letters. The president had repeatedly said people would not be forced to change their insurance under the new law.

Clinton spoke in an interview with the website www.OZY.com, posted Tuesday.
