The Obama administration may give Americans extra time to sign up for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act, postponing when penalties for failing to buy coverage will go into effect, MarketWatch has learned.
The health care law requires most people to have health insurance by Jan. 1, 2014, but allows for “short coverage gaps” of up to three months before imposing the penalty, which is $95 or 1% of an individual’s income (whichever is greater) next year. That means someone must be covered by March 31, an official with the Department of Health and Human Services confirmed, which is the final day that people will be able to purchase health insurance on the public exchanges, or marketplaces, created by the ACA.
But because the new health policies take effect on the first day of each month, in order to be covered by March 31, people would actually need to have insurance by March 1. And since it takes up to two weeks to process insurance applications, consumers would have to apply by Feb. 15, the Associated Press reported recently. (People must apply by Dec. 15 if they want coverage starting Jan. 1.)

It’s a world of lies, corruption and deceit. Politicians can turn on a dime and take any position at a moment’s notice — but they especially enjoy the “voting for it, before they voted against it” when it involves lying to the public. That’s like putting a cherry on top.
And where would the money be coming from to rebuild it? Is Obamacare a bottomless pit of money?
Regardless of their party, they all play the same game. Its called Dupe the Constituients.
didn’t you know, Harry Reid is soooo smart
GO FOR FULL REPEAL..............
Exactly. Make them run on the crapola of a record
The fines might be delayed, but I doubt the millions of cancellation notices and rate increases will be.
FUBO.
There is no difference between the parties.
Either it’s the “Law of the Land,” or it isn’t. Obama has no authority to pick and choose which aspects he will adhere to...unless spineless Repubs continue their “non confrontational” approach to things. Feet should be held to the fire. Launch the Beast or drive a stake through its heart by repeal. A delay of the individual mandate is illegal, and only serves to save Obama’s bacon.
How can they do this? I thought this was the SETTLED LAW OF THE LAND! Oh wait, does Obama now work for the KOCH Brothers? :eeeeeeeeek: /sarc
Exactly....I want the entire electorate to get bitchslapped with this program, and let it soak in by next November’s elections.
Only CONGRESS can change the law.
Ahh, you beat me by like a minute lol
“Exactly....I want the entire electorate to get bitchslapped with this program, and let it soak in by next November’s elections.”
Agreed, unless repeal is on the table.
Well, Obama the bystander president is safe as we all know. But the rest of the RATS, have a pretty rough 2014 in store. BUT, not now, this is showing their spine to the voters.....their version of saving the fainting woman.
Won’t help all the folks whose policies were cancelled because of Obamacare
