Kentucky: REGULAR exchange enrollments extended until 4/11!

OK, this just adds to the confusion over the "extension periods"...not only is Kentucky joining the "you have until 4/15 if you started by 3/31" brigade, but it appears that they're also allowing people to start the application/enrollment process between 4/4 - 4/11 as well:

Gov. Steve Beshear announced Tuesday that the state will extend its deadline. People will be able to file for health insurance from April 4 to April 11.

The official deadline had been midnight March 31. Gwenda Bond, spokeswoman for the Cabinet for Health and Family Services, said 21,000 people signed up over the weekend, including 12,000 people who signed up Monday. The deadline affected only those signing up for private health insurance, because those eligible for Medicaid can apply at any time.

Because of the high demand, Bond said, state officials decided to add additional days for enrollment or a "special enrollment period." The days between the March 31 deadline and the special enrollment period will allow for some tweaks to the technical system to allow for the extension, she said.

Huh. Good for them, but if that's the case, why not just bump this out to 4/15 and be done with it? Weird.

Oh, yeah...and on a related note, I finally found out what the deal with Hawaii is regarding the "extension period"...answer? They're not doing any extension at all.

That makes a total of 3 states without any extension (CT, HI and WA).
