Still, a president can't just pick up the phone and order the Treasury to cut checks for people suffering from insurance premium sticker shock.

WTF? Such MSM idiocy. That's a ridiculous strawman.

The Prez simply needs to place a call to his HHS and tell them to change the HHS regulations that they wrote for the ACA, and simply allow everyone to grandfather their existing plans.

Also not mentioned is the fact that this insurance, as he calls it, doesn’t pay for their former doctors, hospitals or treatments. It may pay for Sandra Fluke’s birth control, but it’s not going to pay for somebody’s cancer treatment or heart valve surgery.

Bingo! Probably 99% of what we are suffering through is due to “The Secretary shall determine…” regulatory language which was enacted in the law. The law itself doesn’t say very much; all it does is empower “The Secretary” to enable and enforce the law as she sees fit. A simple call to Sibelius would fix the problem.

Rush has pointed this out repeatedly the last couple weeks. Obama could very simply fix all these problems and alleviate great medical and financial hardships with a call to the secretary, but he won’t do it because his real goal is to put all the insurance companies out of business.
