Obamacare's signup deadline on Monday has its exceptions

U.S. President Obama pauses while delivering remarks on Obamacare at an Organizing for Action grassroots supporter event in Washington By Susan Cornwell and Roberta Rampton WASHINGTON (Reuters) - For most Americans who don't have health insurance, Monday is the deadline to sign up for coverage starting on January 1 under President Barack Obama's healthcare law. There is a "hardship" exception for some that permits them not to sign up any kind of health insurance at all without facing a penalty - the hardship being problems they've encountered with Obamacare and its malfunctioning website HealthCare.gov. There will also be a "good faith exception" for others, according to a senior Obama administration official. Still others may simply get a break from insurance companies, which the administration has urged to be flexible with people who miss the deadline.
