Can you please tell me how deadlines and open enrollment have improved health insurance coverage in the United States?

Asked by jonsblond (43741points) October 23rd, 2014

A few years ago my husband would have been able to add any family member to his workplace health insurance at any time. Now this can only be done during open enrollment.

Getting myself and my daughter enrolled has now become a pain in the *ss. Open enrollment periods and deadlines have made a stressful time even worse.

How is this helpful for the uninsured? How are these deadlines an improvement to the system?
