WASHINGTON (AP) -- The official sign-up season for President Barack Obama's health care law may be over, but leading congressional Democrats say millions of Americans facing new tax penalties deserve a second chance.

Three senior House members told The Associated Press that they plan to strongly urge the administration to grant a special sign-up opportunity for uninsured taxpayers who will be facing fines under the law for the first time this year.

Supporters of the law say an extension would mainly help low- to middle-income uninsured people, the same group that Obama's coverage expansion was intended to serve.

I can see it now. Per executive order number 666 any Democrat that wants more time to sign on to obamacare is granted same.

[jetson]

This whole pipe dream is going beyond insanity.

[JohnBrowdie]

we will have another legislative press conference where new law is promulgated from on high.

[P-Marlowe]

Either repeal the bill or let those people who are adversely affected by it learn what it means to vote for democrats.

[MeshugeMikey]

I'm certain that The Great Leader has a Plan for this....

Let them rot in their own sewer. Enforce ALL OF IT!

[Fresh Wind]

It’s not a tax, it’s not a penalty, it’s an INDIVIDUAL SHARED RESPONSIBILITY PAYMENT. /facepalm

[dowcaet]

Shocker. Who didn’t see this one coming.

[b4its2late]

The dems need to be held accountable for their passing of this horrendous so called Obamacare law.

[ThomasMore]

The LAW is the LAW.... (to the dems who voted this POS bill into law ) You voted this bill into LAW...YOU live with it. I hope it bites you in the butt over and over again.

[FlingWingFlyer]

The retarded DemocRATs need to realize that these penalties are needed to keep their ObammieCare scam alive. The money needs to come from somewhere.

[Drango]

I’d like relief from all the donkeys.

I say, "Let them eat cake."

Apparently not enough Americans have felt enough pain from this Presidents policy. And there are no leaders in power in DC. Until the Peasants wake up, there will be no change.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I wonder what makes the “leading” ‘RATs think that their freeloaders DESERVE “a second chance”. What did they ever do to DESERVE “a second chance”?

[lrdg]

They OWN it! May the tyrants burn on hell.
