Obamacare Deadline

From Yahoo:
"Sunday night deadline for 2016 health insurance enrollment"

 Sunday night is the sign-up deadline for subsidized private health insurance under President Barack Obama's health care law. Administration officials say the deadline is 11:59 p.m. PST, or 2:59 a.m. EST Monday. That's for the 38 states using the HealthCare.gov website. HealthCare.gov is faster, more reliable and easier to use this year. But premiums have gone up. Fines are also going up for people who remain uninsured in 2016. The minimum penalty is $695 for someone who's uninsured the full year. States running their own insurance markets may have different deadlines. Maryland is giving its residents until Feb. 5, due to the effects of the recent East Coast blizzard.
 

^ Better hurry and get coverage or our "great" leader will get you. Many people who can't afford the required coverage and don't meet the requirements to receive government assistance in getting coverage will now be fined. I wonder if those people who liked Obamacare when it was first passed will feel the same now that the government is starting to check everyone's coverage and fine people. Obama is so worried about what his legacy will be when he leaves office (luckily we only have to wait a little less than a year.) His legacy will include crippling an already crumbling health care system by throwing millions upon millions of new people into it while doing very little to actually fixing the services and problems first. He could have done a great job and given the health care system the reform it needed and also give all Americans the coverage we need. Instead he threatened every American to take part in the crumbling system or face penalties. A smart person either flees a sinking ship or works to fix the ship so it won't sink before forcing more on-board. ^
