10 Democratic Senators call for ACA open enrollment extension.

[PoliticAverse]

Press release from Senator Feinstein:
http://www.feinstein.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/2013/10/shaheen-leads-coalition-of-senators-to-call-for-open-enrollment-extension

...
Given the existing problems with healthcare.gov and other state-run marketplace websites that depend on the federally-administered website, we urge you to consider extending open enrollment beyond the current end date of March 31, 2014. Extending this period will give consumers critical time in which to become familiar with the website and choose a plan that is best for them. Individuals should not be penalized for lack of coverage if they are unable to purchase health insurance due to technical problems.
...

Signed by:
Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.); Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.); Mark Begich (D-Alaska); Mark Pryor (D-Ark.); Mary Landrieu (D-La.); Kay Hagan (D-N.C.); Mark Udall (D-Colo.); Tom Udall (D-N.M.); Michael Bennet (D-Colo); Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.).

1. That seems fine, but I have no doubt the repukes will try to use that to say it is a failure somehow

2. better idea...let people keep their current policy

everybody wins.

3. Many of those people have no current policy

They are part of the 50 million or so Americans that have NO health insurance.

4. Get the word out about private/incognito Web browsing

The problem with the site seems to be the cookies it creates. But if you use your browser's private/incognito window features, no cookies are created. We need to get the word out about that.

5. I'd appreciate knowing how to be more incognito -

Your warning is probably quite sensible, but I no longer have a teenager at the house to guide me.

My knowledge of current day needed computer info is probably more outdated than my wardrobe.

Suggestions appreciated.

6. First of all, are you on a Mac or PC? And what browser are you using?
