Obamacare

It seems that a small group of politicians want to hold the country hostage, behave like terrorists and anarchists because they want to consider extending the open enrollment and penalties for Obamacare. How can these politicians be so insensitive? Is this a rogue group trying to take over a political party?

Wait, these are Democrats calling for this. I'm shocked!!

As long as these substantial technology glitches persist, we are losing valuable time to educate and enroll people in insurance plans. Our constituents are frustrated, and we fear that the longer the website is not functional, opportunities for people to log on, learn about their insurance choices, and enroll will be lost.

Given the existing problems with healthcare.gov and other state-run marketplace websites that depend on the federally-administered website,we urge you to consider extending open enrollment beyond the current end date of March 31, 2014. Extending this period will give consumers critical time in which to become familiar with the website and choose a plan that is best for them. Individuals should not be penalized for lack of coverage if they are unable to purchase health insurance due to technical problems.
