Many people either can't get on to the site or they are waiting for the glitches to get fixed. Give it more time, it is a complex project. My daughter is waiting to sign up until the site runs more smoothly. She is currently paying $325 per month for a private plan with huge deductibles. The Kaiser test site showed she'd get better coverage and it would run her about $80 per month.

There are many people that are in the same boat as my daughter.
