Hurdles for Obama health law in 2nd sign-up season

WASHINGTON (AP) — The next open enrollment season for President Barack Obama’s health care law is only two months away.

Don’t expect a repeat of last year’s website meltdown, but other potential complications await consumers.

This year could expose underlying problems with the law itself that are less easily fixed than a computer system.

The way the law combines insurance and taxes — already two of the most complicated areas for consumers — looks like a sure-fire formula for confusion.

Even supporters of the law are concerned.

The Obama administration is promising a better consumer experience when open enrollment starts Nov. 15, but even its officials say things won’t be perfect.
