Take it from White House Deputy Press Secretary Eric Shultz: the deadline to sign up for Obamacare is still March 31. You can, however, check a box to give yourself an automatic extension, no questions asked.
WH and HHS trying to clarify WPost story regarding enrollment delay. Say it isn't really a delay, simply allowing folks in line to finish

.@HealthCareTara @samsteinhp @danbalz @chucktodd What about letting people vote the next day if they say they meant to get in line?

Yes, Tara. They’re delaying the time polls close. Duh. @HealthCareTara @samsteinhp @danbalz @chucktodd @ComradeArthur

Not a good look, guys.
Administration's working to make #ACA work in best way possible for all Americans. GOP objections to that are very telling, not a good look.

ObamaCare is so awesome it needs to continually be delayed and altered by executive fiat.
