No, I'm not a straggler.

I applied for my ACA account before the marketplace even opened, though it was then lost in the digital abyss.

I then applied for a new account when the marketplace opened, but the site glitched and crashed.

I tried to apply for a policy throughout the painful "fixing" period of the website, but no dice.

I ended up having to apply for a new account, finished my application over the phone, and got my insurance to start on 01/01.

But that's a story for another day.

This is about my experience on signing my parents up on the health insurance exchange, on the final week of open enrollment period, and how I would give the "OMG ANOTHER OBUMMERCARE EXTENSIONZZZZZZZZzzzzzz" crowd the middle finger since it's absolutely necessary and proper to have such an extension.

Follow me below to read Part I of the whole story...

Politifact.com has published a new article on how they came to their ruling, which also explains why their "older" rulings had a different standard.

Needless to say, it another article that's just filled with horse manure. So I decided to send a second letter to them. (You can read my first letter here.)

Many of us would agree that, for the past few months, Politifact has taken a sharp turn in its ruling standards in their pursuit of being "Fair and Balanced™". Personally, I think it's fine as long as the same standards are applied throughout, and I can live with it.

However, it is an entirely different matter when we have double standards to rulings for the two parties.
