The Obama administration will grant extra time to Americans who say they are unable to enroll in health care plans through the federal insurance marketplace by the March 31 deadline, in a decision that swiftly drew Republican ridicule.

All consumers who have begun to apply for coverage on HealthCare.gov, but who do not finish by Monday, will now have until about mid-April to ask for an extension.

"We are experiencing a surge in demand and are making sure that we will be ready to help consumers who may be in line by the deadline to complete enrollment -- either online or over the phone," Health and Human Services Department spokeswoman Joanne Peters told Fox News.

It's like....he's twisting, twisting, slowly, all too slowly in the wind. The slower he turns, the more bovine matter he gets to eat. Let's hope it's gonna be an-all -you can-eat-bovine-matter smorgasbord for the Pusillanimous Presidential Prevaricator.

I started but haven’t finished my 1040. Can I get it done by May 1?

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you ladies and gentlemen! It’s a great honor to be elected to this the highest office in our nation in this challenging year of 2032. We face many difficulties as a country and in this new administration. One of my top priorities, just to get this out of the way right up front, will be the continued extension of the Health Care enrollment deadline.
