The Obama Administration Announces Further Extensions to Obama-Care Deadlines
The Obama administration announces today that a two-year extension for individual policies that don't meet requirements of the new health care law. The cancellation last fall of at least 4.7 million individual policies was one of the most damaging issues in the transition to Obama care. It also contradicted Obama's promise that you can keep your insurance plan if you like it. Other changes made include an extra month for the 2015 open enrollment season. It will still start Nov. 15, as originally scheduled, but it will extend for an additional month, through February 15 of next year. The administration says the schedule change gives insurers, states and federal agencies more time to prepare. This year's open enrollment started October 1st and ends March 31st.
