The Trump administration announced it will extend the deadline to sign up for insurance plans under the Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare, for three days to Wednesday, Dec. 18 after some people experienced issues online while attempting to enroll.

Sunday, Dec. 15 was the deadline to sign up via Healthcare.gov, but a number of users said the website was plagued with glitches and rendered them unable to enroll for health insurance in 2020.
