Obamacare Deadline Pushed Back a Few More Weeks

I swear they are just running this thing by fiat out of the White House.

The decision, scheduled for announcement Wednesday, will give people until mid-April to sign up for insurance. All they need do is check off a box on HealthCare.gov indicating that they tried to enroll by March 31. The government will not check to see if people are telling the truth. The decision to allow more sign-up time was driven by an anticipated last-minute surge in enrollments, which could leave people unable to finish the process, The Washington Post reports.

I have a feeling there won't be a "last minute surge of enrollments" because many uninsured are either unaware of the deadline or can't afford health insurance in the first place.
