Blue Shield of California said it will delay policy cancellations for 113,000 customers who were due to lose coverage at the end of the year as a result of Obama's healthcare law.
Under pressure from California Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones, Blue Shield agreed to allow customers on the individual insurance market to receive a 90-day extension of their plans.
The California extensions come amid a national political storm over hundreds of thousands of Americans losing plans that do not comply with the requirements of Obamacare.
Obama repeatedly pledged Americans could keep their plans if they liked them.
