HealthCare.gov enrollment faces continued red tape and errors
Even enrolled users encounter website back-end issues and verification delays. Federal figures show about 10 percent of submitted forms contain errors, down from 25 percent earlier, prompting calls to confirm enrollment with insurers and pay the first premium by year end. Officials also extend coverage for some pre existing condition plans into January. Affected consumers remain in a holding pattern awaiting insurers to reflect enrollments and price details.
