Obamacare draws last-minute shoppers, deadline is moving target

U.S. President Obama pauses while delivering remarks on Obamacare at an Organizing for Action grassroots supporter event in Washington By Susan Cornwell WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The main website for enrollment under President Barack Obama's signature healthcare law has drawn nearly 2 million visits, officials said Tuesday, in a last-minute rush to meet an ever-flexible deadline for people to obtain insurance coverage starting January 1. In a blog post on the website on Tuesday, the administration suggested additional flexibility, without specifying a new deadline. It was the administration's latest move of the goalposts as it tries to recover from technical failures and political missteps that dogged the enrollment drive for weeks after it opened on October 1. Trying to make up for lost time, the administration has announced a series of last-minute changes and delays to get as many people as possible covered under the Affordable Care Act, Obama's major domestic policy initiative.
