The deadline is looming for enrollment through the state's health care exchange, but at least one customer is hoping for more time.
"It was all going really well, my plans were in my range, but the computer was down so I couldn't get access to another account or something I had," said Courtney Linderman, after she left the Access Health CT office in New Britain.
Linderman said the broker inside had given her her phone number and she would call her, "but I just don't know how long it's going to be."
The spokeswoman for Access Health, former Rep. Kathy Tallarita, was not available for comment. In a news release, she said that as of last Friday, 29,000 Connecticut residents had enrolled so far this year for coverage effective Jan. 1.
Residents can still buy health insurance after Monday, but coverage won't start until March 1.
In addition, people must purchase health insurance by Feb. 15 to avoid hundreds of dollars in penalties on their income tax returns.
