Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa today made the following comment on the Obamacare open enrollment date shift for next year.
"Last night at 8:29, CMS put out a notice that it is shifting the start of open enrollment next year from October 1, 2014, to November 15, 2014. That means that if premiums go through the roof in the first year of Obamacare, no one will know about it until after the election. This is clearly a cynical political move by the Obama Administration to use extra-regulatory, by any means necessary tools to keep this program afloat and hide key information from voters. The Obama Administration ought to answer for this shift. The Administration is welcome to prove me wrong by committing to put out 2015 plan year premium rates by November 1, 2014."
