Well, they never seemed to like "live" babies anyway------New Obamacare glitch

"Editorial: New Obamacare glitch | Boston Herald:

Another day, another Obamacare “glitch” destined to make life unbearable even for those who have been able to sign up.
...The Associated Press reported yesterday — and the White House confirmed — that the HealthCare.gov website can’t handle baby updates — or any other change in status for that matter. 
Marriage, divorce, change of address or a new job, even a death in the family, all of which would need to be reported — in part because those changes can affect eligibility for subsidized coverage — can’t be reported because the website is currently incapable of accepting the information.

That feature will be “available later” is all the system says about this latest lapse
How much later is anyone’s guess. Apparently the techies assigned to add that feature to HealthCare.gov were reassigned to deal with bigger issues — like getting people signed up in the first place.
