Open enrollment for Obamacare runs for HALF the YEAR!

Of course, for private insurance plans open enrollment lasts for only one month.

Open enrollment runs between October 1 and March 31. You don't have to sign up that first day. In fact, you may want to put off paying for it until December. Plans bought through the exchanges won't start until January 1. December 14 is the cut-off date if you want your plan to start January 1. Open enrollment runs through March 31. If you sign up in January or February your coverage will start the following month. . . .
