The Obama administration over the week
end secretly extended the sign-up deadline for those seeking healthcare plans through the federal exchanges, according to The Washington Post.Monday was supposed to be the last day to enroll in coverage that starts Jan. 1, but the Post report says government officials and IT contractors secretly altered the online portal to accept applications for an additional 24 hours.The move would mark the second time the Obama administration has pushed back the sign-up deadline for those seeking coverage that starts in January. The original deadline of Dec. 15 was pushed back to Dec. 23 after the troubled launch of HealthCare.gov.The Post says people will now have until midnight on Dec. 24 to enroll in coverage. A second enrollment period will allow people to enroll through March 2014.The deadline delay is the latest in a string of unilateral changes to the law the administration has made since ObamaCare’s troubled launch.Last week, the administration relaxed ObamaCare's mandate for people to have insurance. It said it would allow individuals whose health insurance was canceled to buy catastrophic plans that had once been intended mainly for young people.
The administration has also required insurers to accept premium payments through Dec. 31, pushed back the sign-up date for those seeking coverage by April 1 by six weeks, and delayed the second-year enrollment period until after the 2014 elections.

i don't understand why some would except rebuked rants in favor of proven stats that this is working it is a good thing and those who seem to have forgotten for years they complained of rising premiums, being denied, not what they thought they paid for,
