Hardcore republicans are being payed to use bots to flood the site so no one can use it they are trying to delay ACA at all cost and this is ther last resort. Voting on a clean CR or not does not effect ACA one bit flood the healthcare.gov is working only if it is little tiny bit
Heavy web traffic will cause problems, this is true with every single website.

This "train wreck" was avoidable. The reality is that there is very little that the government does well, and for a narcissist like Obama -- who has been concerned with his "legacy" from the start -- to produce both a healthcare bill and a website like this is inexcusable. Anybody with any sense would have known that this website development job should not have gone out to the lowest bidder, but rather to the people that can deliver results.
The first-responders are weighing in, and they are saying "Who are the morons that thought this was a good idea?" One of Obama's many shortcomings is that he doesn't get two things:
1. Pride comes before a fall
2. Fate exacts a terrible price for hubris
A large dose of humility is needed before a "fix" can happen. Think that's coming from the WH?

This doesn't bode well for Obama and the Democrats who shoved this albatross down our throats. Thank God, not one Republican voted for this! They can't use this against us.
Lol.....I was just thinking this same thought about dial-up. I'm sitting on a fat pipe connection from CrimeWarner.....err, Time Warner (50mps down), and I have a small advertisement that I have framed in my office from 3Com, announcing their awesomely fast 28.8k modem!
There's no way this site even functions on dial-up.
Yikes
Due to obamacare, my blue cross private insurance just notified me yesterday that my policy went from $360 a month to $699!
That doubles my cost to over $8,300 a year with a $3,500 deductible.
Are the exchanges way less expensive? It may be worth slogging through the hassle with these outrageous private insurance increases.
No. If your experience is like many others, it will be even MORE expensive!

I would like respectable, documented evidence that your statement is true.

You proved my point. "this wreck was avoidable" and walk away. Most ,if not all train wercks, are aviodable but still happen. Fixers dont assess blame before they fix the problem.
I would say this may explain some of the problems.. I know there also were many like me, that had no intention of signing, but went to the site early on to see how it worked. load testing obviously was deficient but I am sure will be worked out soon...

Fix it, then assess blame.
keep walking away, we dont need your help.
Nobody is walking away. But the Obama administration needs to realize two things:
1. They absolutely suck at large-scale rollouts
2. They are too arrogant to recognize #1.
As the experts have said, this was never even beta tested. It would be different if they had 30 days to build a site -- I'm willing to cut them some slack. But this was years in the making. YEARS.
This is the kind of effort that makes people hate government. You, apparently, are a fan of "BigGov", and if you are, you need to own the fact that "BigGov" is not efficient, and often does a poor job. Sadly for Obama, he cannot "blame Bush" on this -- this abortion is entirely of his creation.
You should be outraged as a taxpayer that THIS is the best your government can do when it had billions of dollars and 3 years on its side. As I tell my own kids, "How you do anything is how you do everything".
Part of project management is hitting milestones along the way. This site performs like it was created by high school kids.
