Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) called on the White House Tuesday to extend the open enrollment deadline for Obamacare because of the government’s glitchy website rollout.
In a letter to the White House obtained by Politico, Shaheen said her constituents have faced “incredibly frustrating and disappointing” issues with HealthCare.gov, which had been billed by President Barack Obama as a one-stop marketplace for health insurance.
“As website glitches persist, we are losing valuable time to educate and enroll people in insurance plans,” Shaheen wrote. “I also fear that people that have tried, and failed, to enroll online may become frustrated and not return to the website to try again at a later date.”
