There Are Exceptions For Obamacare Signup Deadline
"Good faith" and "hardship" exceptions
(Reuters) - For most Americans who don't have health insurance, Monday is the deadline to sign up for coverage starting on January 1 under President Barack Obama's healthcare law.
For others, it's not a deadline.
There is a "hardship" exception for some that permits them not to sign up any kind of health insurance at all without facing a penalty - the hardship being problems they've encountered with Obamacare and its malfunctioning website HealthCare.gov.
There will also be a "good faith exception" for others, according to a senior Obama administration official.
