Comment: In this absurd brave new Obamacare world, where inferior, over-priced insurance is mandatory and enforced with threats–taxes, stern warnings and a deadline–legions of eligible free-thinking Americans literally aren’t buying it.
This brings about a comical circumstance–our would-be health masters really really need your money. They want to give it to other people.
So now, the stunned, stung, and confused masterminds, wondering why the public isn’t buying their new brand of dog food[1], begin to beg. Befuddled and desperate, they’re opening their ‘closed’ door again, erasing their deadlines and begging you to come in. (It reminds us of the witch, luring Hansel and Gretel into her house.)

“Ignorance is no excuse for breaking the law…except for those without insurance.”
“That seems to be the case as officials with Washington state’s health benefit exchange extended by two months the deadline to enroll in a qualified plan under the Affordable Care Act.”
“The original deadline expired this past Sunday and the two-month extension was enacted in part for those unaware of the tax penalty for not having health insurance under the Affordable Care Act.”
“The extension also provides additional time for those who were unable to complete their applications by the Feb. 15 deadline.”
“The special enrollment period runs through April 17. ”
Insurance enrollment deadline extended another two months
