1. I really doubt that.

Wait until next week. Then it should be much better.

There is a lot of pent-up demand right now.

2. I've checked several times today, never a problem.

6. Same here.

[TekGryphon]

3. It's called traffic overload.

You should have seen NeoGAF yesterday when Valve registered the Half Life 3 trademark. I was waiting for a mushroom cloud on the horizon from their servers exploding.

Healthcare.gov will hit smooth sailing tomorrow or the day after as the traffic spike dwindles and new servers are brought online.

19. I was thinking that the OP clearly doesn't play video games.

Server administrators design the capacity for their expected daily load. Anytime a service with a lot of hype and pent-up demand goes online, this happens for a few days. It will settle down when everyone isn't all trying to get on at the same time.

No evil schemes, just networking infrastructure logistics in action.

4. I would not be surprised at ANY skulduggery the GOP might pull. They could have people dialing.....

...just to shut down the system. They have done this sort of thing on election day to the Dem. headquarter phone lines calling people to go vote.

[Earth_First]

5. No problem here...

Mobile device.

Try clearing your internet temp files and cookies cache?

7. I am having trouble getting past their wait page too.

Then, it tells me the server is down. I'll wait a few days then try again. It is probably just the sheer volume of people trying to get in there.

8. Nobody's insurance starts until Jan 1st, so you have time.

The GOP shutdown and all the talk about Obamacare has been a boon for the exchanges and people's attention to the fact the sign up starts at the same time as the shutdown. Supporters of the plan like me couldn't have planned it better if we had been responsible for getting the word out ourselves.

10. I am insured but would love to try and save some money.

Or get better coverage.. both would be best.


Mostly curious for myself and trying to help a couple people I know who are not insured.


I guess it is just my bad luck that I can't log in.

9. WHile I wouldn't be surprised if freeper idiots have been clicking Refresh all day...

There aren't enough of them to make any impact. I suppose someone out there might try to overload the servers, but for now I believe it's simply a higher-than-expected demand. I'll revise that belief if there are still problems next week

11. It would be difficult to DDoS a site that is already receiving millions of hits

Though every little bit hurts...

[Agschmid]

12. It has worked for me every time today...

I've done it on an iPad. iPhone, and a Mac all using safari.

[Motown_Johnny]

13. Hmm.. using Chrome.

[Agschmid]

16. Keep trying it is worth it!

I'd reset your browser?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

14. I was just thinking that on the way home today

[Zorra]

15. I can't log in; I got an account a month ago, before they temporarily closed them off

until Oct 1. I try to log in, and I get a page that tells me to wait for the log in page, then when the log in page pops up I try to log in, I get an error message.

[Hutzpa]

17. I'm beginning to think the same thing here too

I've tried every hours of the day and as early as 4am in the morning yet
no luck.

Will not put it pass the repubs to sabotage the rolling out.

[BumRushDaShow]

18. I got in about 10 minutes ago

and was able to get around okay and even got a list of local offices that were providing additional help (which was interesting info for me, since we have Cor-butt, who has abdicated his duty, so the feds are running the exchange here in PA - our "public option" ).

[kestrel91316]

20. I finally got signed up with an account on Covered CA. I just can't get logged in. Or I can get

logged in but then get error messages when trying to look at options.

But I already know the plan I want and can afford - it's one from LA Care Covered.

I'll wait a bit to sign up. I was able to finally look at a list of area physicians that are part of that HMO. I am lucky to have a hospital and lots of medical offices not far from home.

[Jamastiene]

21. Looks like you called it...

at least possibly.

Hackers blamed for New York's Obamacare site breakdown
Source: NY Post

The numbers just don’t add up.
The “abnormally high traffic” that crippled New York’s ObamaCare Web site for two days may have resulted from a malicious attack by hackers, computer-security experts said Wednesday.

The NY State of Health site recorded an astounding 10 million visits after opening for business Tuesday — although there are only about 1.1 million state residents without health insurance and just 330,000 are expected to buy ObamaCare for next year.

If there is a possibility the NY site was hacked, there is also a possibility the national site could be a target of hackers too. It is too soon to tell, but the possibility is at least there.

22. I can't get in either

I set up an account months ago. It keeps telling me to wait for the log in page. I've been waiting for 3 days, all times of day and night. I used 3 different computers, deleted the cache and cookies, 3 different browsers. Nada.

They should have had roll out over 5 days, alphabetically, by state. 10 states per day. But that's just me. Been waiting so long for this because we should save a bundle. I even checked with the state (Ohio), and they said the problem isn't on their end. Who knows.

[Myrina]

23. I got in but could not access my account

because it took me 'too long' to respond to the validation email yesterday, so now that "me" is somewhere in cyberspace.

Tried to open a new account with my work-email and made it thru the validation process, only to try to log in & navigate and be told that 'the user account does not exist' & get kicked out again.

So, dunno what, but something's weird.
