Delaware State Insurance Commissioner Trinidad Navarro is urging Senator Tom Carper to get an extension for those signing up for the Affordable Care Act.
Navarro told the Wilmington News Journal that he is worried there will not be enough time to enroll in the health insurance exchange.
So, he said, he is consulting with the Delaware Democrat’s office and Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield about extending the deadline to January 1st.
The paper reports that Carper’s office says it has reached out to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services about working out an extension.
Under the Trump administration enrollment this year was only open for six weeks.
During its first years that deadline was extended to the beginning of the year.
