Thanks. Of course Bob should have said 80%-85%, but at least he wasn't just completely lying.

Thanks for the link.
"The following chart only includes states which have broken out Paid vs. Unpaid Enrollments. If you only use these 10 states as a guideline, it looks like the paid rate is around 85%"

The White House insists that industry claims notwithstanding,
it can’t provide precise enrollment totals — and may not be able to for months
because major, “back end” components of HealthCare.gov are still under
construction. Those pieces are supposed to collect data directly
from insurers about the number of premium-paying customers on their rolls.

The website and phone support has been working fine for at least the past 2 months. It's only down today because of a last minute rush.

Again, you are talking about a high volume of items being retrieved from a database.

Not a high volume of users trying to simultaneously access your system.

Comparing your tiny website, with it's low volume of customers, to something like Health Care.gov is ridiculous.
