  • Obamacare Is So Awesome That It Needs Another Delay

    03.25.2014 | News | |

    Less than six days to go before the March 31 deadline, the White House extended the enrollment period for Obamacare. Apparently the health-care law, which just celebrated its 4th year, is so awesome that there are individuals who like a plan, but are unsure on whether or not they should press the “select” button.

    Quoth the Washington Post:

    Federal officials confirmed Tuesday evening that all consumers who have begun to apply for coverage on HealthCare.gov, but who do not finish by Monday, will have until about mid-April to ask for an extension.

    Or, in other words, as someone wisely remarked on Twitter:

    The New York Times put the number of Obamacare delays at 15 in the past year alone, and that was before the second employer mandate delay kicked in; it was also prior to this latest “extension” by the White House.  So the number unilateral delays — again, just within the last year — has clocked in at 17.

    This latest delay comes just weeks after Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said before a House Ways and Means committee that there would be no more delays to the individual mandate:

    We attempted to reach Congressman Luis Gutierrez of Illinois for comment, but he was still too busy singing to himself.
