It is pretty badly coded. And he's been coding for some really big companies since college. He's made his comfortable living and doesn't want this aggravation at this time in his life. Rewriting code for Y2K was easier.

If you've ever used the internet, you used code he was instrumental in at the beginning.....

if you can't sign up for Obamacare since the web site is not working? Are you going to pay the penality?

I already have health insurance, so, nothing.

I'm sure the website will be working before too long, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

You can wait until it starts working and sign up.

It's pretty obvious you investigated this thoroughly, since the main page has two huge buttons

Apply Online
Apply by phone.

I guess they would pay the penalty, because they are too stupid to be able to read "Apply by phone." Or maybe, too stupid to know how to use a phone. Then again, there are some who don't even look at the site, and realize there is a phone option to apply. We should educate those people. Give them a clue, so to speak.

I'm not signing up, no matter what. I haven't the money to waste.

Probably thank my employer for providing excellent health insurance so I don't have to deal with this nightmare

Have fun liberals. This is what you were all thumping your chests about. You must be proud of your messiah.

Some have called and they get the run around. Told to go back online and try again, maybe in the middle of the night when there is less traffic. They do and still can't get in.

Doesn't make a difference to me. I have no intention, and never had any intention, of signing up.
