I'd wait for the initial logjam of folks attempting to log on cleared up. But I am intrigued by the wide disparity in the rates of success y'all are reporting, so I'm going to try now. I'll report on how it works out.

Wish me luck!

Edit: Update
Locate ACA website, was referred to Washington State's website, create account, fill out and submit application. 30 mins.
Unable to process, was given a phone number to call. Wait time was 108 mins, selected callback option. await return call...

...well, three hours later, no call back yet. Bummer. I was SO hoping I'd fall into the no-drama category, LOL . Try again tomorrow...

Update: 24 hrs later, no callback yet...you can see where this is going...
