Obamacare fix: No tax penalty for those whose policies were canceled

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in a letter to a group of senators that she will use authorities in the law to issue a “hardship exemption” from tax penalties to those who received cancellations and were not able to line up new coverage.
