"Okeydoke"
No joke, promise kept.

Uninsured Americans (click here) who want to buy Affordable Care Act coverage have another three months to do so, thanks to an executive order President Joe Biden signed last month.
The federal Obamacare exchange, healthcare.gov, reopened Monday for a special enrollment period that runs until May 15. Most states that operate their own marketplaces are also doing the same or are extending their sign-up season for several more weeks.
The President is hoping that some of the 15 million uninsured people eligible for Affordable Care Act policies -- 9 million of whom qualify for federal financial assistance -- will participate. Individuals making up to about $51,000 and families of four earning up to about $104,800 are eligible for subsidies.
