Fox News issued an on-air correction to a misleading chart displayed Monday on "America's Newsroom." The chart incorrectly scaled the number of projected enrollees in health insurance plans under the Affordable Care Act to the Obama administration's original goal.

"That was our mistake," Fox News anchor Bill Hemmer said Tuesday. "Correction noted."
