Because of course, let's just pretend there are no rules (because clearly there aren't:
In an abundance of caution, to accommodate consumers who
attempted to enroll in coverage during the final hours of Open
Enrollment but who may have experienced issues, starting at 3:00PM EST
today, December 16 we are extending the deadline to sign up for January 1
coverage until 3:00AM EST December 18."
Oh for crying out loud. This has nothing to do with "caution," and everything to do with number padding. Those final ACA sign-up tallies must look truly awful.
