ENOUGH already. The website **IS** working [View all]

If I hear another supposed Democratic say "once the Website starts working after the end of November ..." I may have to shoot myself.

The website had a bad two weeks where it was essentially non-functional. Performance was horrible. You couldn't get through the registration process without a bunch of errors. If you finally did get an account created, you couldn't get policy information to display consistently. And essential information, such as the provider networks, was broken.

But that stuff is all fixed now. You most certainly CAN use the site to get any details you want about any of the policies and you can use it to enroll.

Yes, it is still a crappy design. The worst part, I think, is that there is a "See plans now" button that ostensibly lets you see the plans without having to create an account. Except that the information is completely bogus. You cannot see the plans that actually are correct for your circumstances, and for most people, that grossly underestimates the cost of the real plans. Moreover all you can see is a summary, which is worthless.

But if a person is willing to go through the ordeal (a 30-minute process) of creating an account, the website works fine.

We need to get yahoos like Ed Shultz and basically everybody else to stop saying the site isn't working. It is working and probably isn't going to get much better from this point.
