Kathleen Sebelius: Obamacare Extension 'Is Not An Extension'
by Wynton Hall 26 Mar 2014, 1:38 PM PDT
Embattled Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said Wednesday that the Obama administration's decision to extend the Obamacare open enrollment period is not, in fact, an extension.
"This is not an extension of open enrollment," Sebelius told Michigan Fox 2. "It is just saying, like you do on election day, if you're in line to vote, we want to make sure you vote."
However, unlike election day, the Washington Post says the Obama administration will give people several weeks – until mid-April – to enroll.
The Post says the Obama White House will rely on the "honor system" and will "not try to determine whether the person is telling the truth."
In congressional testimony last month before the House Ways and Means Committee, Sebelius told Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX) that there would be no delay of the enrollment deadline. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services spokeswoman Julie Bataille said last month that the open enrollment period would not be extended and that, "In fact, we don't actually have the statutory authority to extend the open enrollment period in 2014."
Now, however, Bataille presumably believes the Obama administration does have statutory authority.

AW—how very sweet of them………….
They is good peeps!
Well that makes sense since Obama care doesn’t care for anything except Government expansion and the Affordable Care Act has nothing to do with affordability.
It depends on what the meaning of “is” is.
Geeze Kathleen, do you toss and turn in bed at night thinking about how the clown in the white house has made a complete, dithering fool out of you?
Why is it that we constantly get these word games from leftwingers?
Pathetic. We have morons extortionists running this asylum.
When we said we have always been at War with Eurasia, what we meant was we have always been at War with Eastasia.
Don’t believe she’s lost so much as a wink. Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia.
Making it up as you go on the back of an canceled envelope - with 1/5 of the United States GNP.
What in the world could go wrong with that?
Obama knows nothing about the US Constitution and the rule of law.

“It is just saying, like you do on election day, if you’re in line to vote, we want to make sure you vote.”
It’s not like saying that at all.
good grief!@!!!!!! I so detest these pyles.
Evidently neither does our Supreme Court.
A whole industry is screwed and people are spending their food money on insurance.
They are doing this because they aren’t yet ready to hear 95% of us say, “Not now, not ever!”
