Affordable Care Act Deadline Is Monday

The deadline for people seeking insurance under the Affordable Care Act is Monday.

The original deadline was December 15th, but was pushed back because of the flawed launch of the healthcare website. Americans are required to have health coverage next year.

Most carry insurance through their employer or government programs, but approximately 48 million Americans are uninsured according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

The Obama administration says more than a million Americans have signed up since the websiite went live on October 1st.
