Well that can’t be true. President Obama said the website is working “flawlessly.”
Believe him. Do as you're told. MT @WashTimes #Obama says http://t.co/puV6uHOjOA works 'flawlessly' http://t.co/lRwikPwjyH

There’s not even a smidgen of difficulty.
He wouldn’t lie about something as important as health insurance. Oh wait.
@AnthonyBialy @WashTimes I wonder if flawlessly includes millions on hold, accounts being locked w/o reason and screens on lock.

It’s a feature, not a bug.

@BarackObama @HealthCareGov Unfortunately, I have not been able to get anyone to help me. All I need is my password.

@janetstjames I helped my sister this weekend. It kept crashing when she'd hit SUBMIT. She went back in evening + it worked.
— Cyndy Metcalf (@MsCynMet) December 15, 2014
Not everyone who managed to navigate the site successfully was happy with the result though.
Disgusted with #healthcare in this country. Gov't "affordable" healthcare went up 21.32% this year. Monthly premium for crap ins. $807. WTH?

Ok let me get this straight. http://t.co/s2LJw9YgYa says the lowest plan I can get is approx 1/3 of my take home pay last year. What?
— Cryssy Nelson (@cryssyinstl) December 15, 2014
But it’s not more than your take home pay, ergo “affordable.”
Nothing makes you want universal single-payer healthcare like shopping on this awkward and frustrating http://t.co/QAe1V2gDFC exchange.

Some might argue that that was the intent all along.
