From an article on the subject, another Friday surprise:

Federal officials also announced Friday a special sign-up extension for uninsured people facing the health care law’s tax penalties for the first time this year.

And, another Obamacare tax extension (where, in the law, does it say they can extend these deadlines? Or are these "deadlines" similar to "red lines"?) is in the offing:

There's another Obamacare break — the administration is offering a special enrollment period for Americans who didn't realize they would have to pay a tax if they don't have health insurance.

"This special enrollment period will allow those individuals and families who were unaware or didn't understand the implications of this new requirement to enroll in 2015 health insurance coverage through the federally facilitated marketplace," the Health and Human Services Department said in a statement. People will be able to sign up for private health insurance on the Obamacare exchanges between March 15 and April 30

"If consumers do not purchase coverage for 2015 during this special enrollment period, they may have to pay a fee when they file their 2015 income taxes," HHS said.

Maggie and John, Shawnsi and Robin each got paired with their own health insurance company thanks to the act and now, naturally, they want to add their children to their policies.

Federal law does not allow their insurance companies to add the kids directly. Each mother must go back to the healthcare marketplace to add their child.

All three families attempted to add their newborns within the 30-day window of the child being born, as is required, but each was denied.

“The marketplace said it was required we had to go through CHIP,” Maggie said.

CHIP stands for the Children’s Health Insurance Policy ("Program" - GK). It is a program offered by the state of Utah to help insure kids whose parents can’t afford it. But each of these families do fine for themselves financially so they don’t qualify for CHIP.

And then, this happened:

Sure enough, CHIP denied her baby. Now when she turns to the marketplace to try and add her daughter, they turn her away.

“They denied us, saying we went over our time limit and there was no evidence we tried adding her to our insurance,” Maggie said.

Maggie says she protested sending marketplace workers copies of their own emails promising to extend the window but it did no good.
