Millions Visit Obamacare Exchanges On Launch Day As Glitches Persist

On the first day Americans could shop for health coverage on Obamacare's new health insurance exchanges, 2.8 million people visited the federal government's HealthCare.gov -- as President Barack Obama's administration feverishly scrambled to fix glitches that prevented users from signing on.

But technical errors persisted, even as the administration touted high interest in the federal portal for more than 30 states, as well as intense activity on state-run exchanges. Though officials from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said they'd made strides correcting the federal exchanges' problems, The Huffington Post made dozens of attempts and still couldn't sign into the website late Tuesday afternoon.

It was like this when Medicare took effect and worse when HMO's took over. Hopefully, they'll get the glitches fixed because there are a lot of people who need ObamaCare.

Someone needs to tell Duddly that 2.8 million PAGE VISITS is not 2.8 million people trying to sign up.
It would not be a reach to say at least half of the visits were people just curious with no intention of signing up, I visited it myself - as well as at least a few 100,000 of those hits were people retrying the site several times after it kept crashing.
You must write opeds for Huffington Post

Cons put Obama's name on the ACA as an insult. Turns out it's stuck, they'll regret that.
