With such a complicated law, with so many hidden rules that suddenly spring upon us, how are we (or the insurance companies, doctors, pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, ambulances, medical supply companies, ophthalmologists, and foreign visitors) supposed to comply and be good law abiding citizens?

And I thought that with all those slipping deadlines that there was no *real* deadline, that I could sign up any time I wanted, that the deadlines meant nothing. I’m so confused. If getting sick does not count as a life qualifying event (a pre-existing condition, promised to be covered), then what does?

And what happens to those who are graduating and will be off their SHIP plans, or just the summer coverage for students between school years? Is summer break enough of a life qualifying event to allow students to get summer coverage?

And what about those who are turning 27 (or is it 26)? between now and December 31 and will be uneligible for their parents plans (or whose parents also didn’t sign up during the seemingly eternal open enrollment)? No one told them to sign up before the deadline.

This whole turd of a law just gets worse with each passing week. What’s next?

BAH!
