Obamacare mandates maternity coverage, but it can't add your new baby to your planIf you like your new baby, you can't insure your new baby.

There's another quirk in the Obama administration's new health insurance system: It lacks a way for consumers to quickly and easily update their coverage for the birth of a baby and other common life changes.

With regular private insurance, parents just notify the health plan. Insurers will still cover new babies, the administration says, but parents will also have to contact the government at some point later on.

Right now the HealthCare.gov website can't handle such updates.

The cynic in me says they assumed all pregnant women would jump at the chance to get a (now free) abortion.

But it's probably just another shining example of Obama's unparalleled competence. He'll have one of his lackeys order the insurance companies to cover your new baby, and they'll listen, because he's The King.

Uh, ok, good luck with that.

Paperwork? Payments? Feh, he can't concern himself with such trifles. Not when there are vacations to be taken and golf courses to be conquered.

Besides, I'm sure MSNBC is already blaming this latest "glitch" on Republicans. Or a YouTube video. And Hillary will fix everything when she's elected president. It said so in The New York Times.

This is a disorganized mess. Shameful. It is clear that insufficient effort was made on this project by Obama administration.

WASHINGTON -- Last-minute Christmas shopping may also apply to health insurance this year.

Some consumers will have until midnight Christmas Eve to finish signing up for private health coverage under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that will start on Jan. 1, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) said Monday.

The deadline was originally Dec. 15, but then CMS extended it to Dec. 23 because of the many technical problems of signing up for coverage through either state or federal websites like Healthcare.gov.

The Obama administration confirmed Monday that it will slightly push back its deadline to sign up for coverage that starts Jan. 1 under the ACA -- giving some consumers an extra day. The Washington Post first reported the story Monday.

"Anticipating high demand and the fact that consumers may be enrolling from multiple time zones, we have taken steps to make sure that those who select a plan through tomorrow [Dec. 24] will get coverage for Jan. 1," CMS spokeswoman Julie Bataille said in a statement. It wasn't immediately clear if the extension applied to everybody or only to those who had started the enrollment process before midnight Monday -- a date CMS held firm was still the deadline.
