Is this obamacare or insurance company nonsense.

Before Barky-Care, you could sign up for health insurance any time you would like. However, when an entity contracts with insurance companies, due to contractual requirements, you've got "open enrollment" for a fixed period of time. If you don't get your insurance during that open enrollment, you're out of luck until the next time open enrollment.

That was actually written into Barky-Care, though Barky kept extending the open enrollment period (illegally, since it was written into the law.)

Didn't you read the bill? It's right there on page 2,349.
