Obama to Push Back Health-Insurance Enrollment

The Obama administration “is planning to push back the period during which Americans sign up for coverage under the new health law in its second year of operation, a change that could reassure insurers while also avoiding the 2014 midterm elections,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

Such a shift “would ensure that Democrats facing tough re-election races next fall don’t have to campaign at the same time as open enrollment is taking place, although some premium information would be already available during the campaign.”
