This Is How To Sign Up For Obamacare - It's Actually Really Easy

New York Health Exchange

The deadline to sign up for health insurance through the Affordable Care Act is Monday, March 31. (Extensions will be granted in a few cases.)

I first tried to look at my options on the health insurance exchanges on Oct. 1, 2013, even though, at the time, I didn't think I would sign up. But like millions of other people, I couldn't even login.

This week, with the deadline approaching, I finally decided to sign up for coverage on New York's exchange. And - much to my surprise - it was easy.

Note: New York runs its own health exchange; others may not work exactly the same way. Check healthcare.gov to find a link to the appropriate exchange for you.
