During a speech in Boston yesterday, he said the “vast majority” of people — but not everyone — will be able to keep their old health insurance coverage under the reform law, according to the report.

Republicans such as House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) and Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) have criticized the president for misleading the American people by saying the law wouldn’t make them change insurance. On Wednesday, President Obama countered that relatively few people would be forced off their plans and accused his detractors of “grossly misleading” the public, according to the report.
