There really is no way they can spin this.
From today’s press briefing:
JayCarney says if you had plan on individual market you can keep it – as long as your insurer continues to offer it

Update: More from the Washington Examiner.
White House press secretary Jay Carney on Tuesday said President Obama’s claim that all Americans could keep their health insurance plans under the new health law deserved a “fuller explanation,” acknowledging millions of consumers would not keep their current coverage.
After the passage of Obamacare, the president has repeatedly insisted that if any individual likes their health care plan, they could “keep it.”
Carney on Tuesday added a crucial caveat to that promise, saying Americans could keep their insurance if the plan is “still available.”
In other words, if the plan is modified, coverage options that don’t meet Obamacare standards could be canceled.
