AUGUSTA, Maine - Time is running out for Maine residents who want to sign up for coverage on the health care exchange.
Sunday is the last day to buy subsidized private insurance on Healthcare.gov through President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act.
While the open enrollment period has gone more smoothly than last year when the federally-run website was plagued with glitches, the weather has caused some problems this time around.
Cheryl Leonard, a navigator in Waterville, said the snowstorms over the last couple of weeks have forced some residents to push back their appointments, making things slightly hectic for assisters and those trying to get help ahead of the deadline.
Federal officials say that more than 66,000 residents have already enrolled since Nov. 15, which advocates say is encouraging.
