We’ll take “pitiful distractions” for $1,000, Alex!
HealthCare.gov continues to live up to the name “404care” with “unexpected” errors and blank white pages titled “Success URL.” Since people can’t actually buy Obamacare plans on the failure of an online marketplace, the administration decided to debut a window shopping tool that provides general premium estimates.
The good news? Chances are you can get to the website. The embarrassing news for the administration? It’s a dumbed down, less helpful version of eHealthInsurance.com.
Fed exchange launches Premium Shopper Tool..though of limited value. But at least not have to create account to acces http://t.co/MzirZXcBNr

Well, hey, as long as you don’t need to create an account this should be pretty useful, right? Wrong:
@HealthCareGov now allows you to go window shopping (kind of) without registering. Can't search networks, see copays. http://t.co/S3pFL8fPU8

Will this silly tool placate the frustrated masses? Our crystal ball says, “Hells no.”
@HealthCareGov how about fixing the website instead of tweeting?

@HealthCareGov You'll never guess, but the website is totally broken. My unsubmitted application is gone. You guys are KILLING IT.

@HealthCareGov logged on and my load bar says it is loading the marketplace. But blank screen. I refresh nothing. Got through, info and pass

@HealthCareGov If only I could get logged on!
