Deadline Extended to Enroll in Health Care

Insurance carriers participating in Maryland's health care exchange have extended the deadline for individuals and families to enroll in order to be covered Jan. 1, Gov. Martin O'Malley announced Tuesday.

State residents who enroll in a qualified health plan through Maryland Health Connection by Dec. 27 can have coverage that begins Jan. 1. The previous deadline was Dec. 23. Consumers would have until Jan. 15 to pay for their coverage.

On Monday, Carefirst announced it would extend the deadline to Dec. 27, and other insurance carriers also have agreed to the later deadline, including Kaiser Permanente, United Healthcare and Evergreen Health Co-op.

Don't make enough money to pay the premiums. I'll just have to pay the penalty instead and hope I don't get sick. I rather die than bankrupt my family. What a really sad state of affairs this country has become!

704, better to delay it than to charge full speed into it immediately. I'm in the same boat, and will never own my house, anyway. Grow the kids out and hope for the best.

Heck, even if you buy their crap insurance, the death panels hold your life in their hands.

I'd rather die a free man.
