On Monday, Minnesota said it would extend a completion deadline for anyone who starts the process of enrolling in a plan by midnight on March 31 but doesn’t finish it. Maryland and Nevada also have extended the deadline for people who can show they began to sign-up before the end of the month…”We sort of liken it to if you are standing in line to vote and the polls close but you are still able to go ahead and vote,” said Scott Leitz, interim chief executive of Minnesota’s health-insurance exchange, MNsure. Mr. Leitz said people will have to prove that they tried to sign up to be eligible for flexibility. (WSJ)

It will be extending the completion deadline forever?
Sure why not
It has to be done.
They are trying to employ any possible way to extend the deadline..
Why wouldn’t they try?
They have no choice but one way: to extend the deadline.
Exactly, the technology is just not where it’s at to get everyone signed up
Are they implying that people prefer not to enroll into the ObamaCare?
Maybe people are individually protesting and we have no idea.
They have to, or else no one will get signed up and millions will be forced to take a penalty.
Absolutely! But this approach seems to be invalid..No would change his or her mind without being offered a better option.
I mean no one
In order to get the best a mount of healthy people signed up to care for the sick we must extend the deadline. It’s the only way

This is a good idea. A lot of the bottle neck is with the insurance companies themselves not being able to keep up with the massive influx of applications.
