That’s Department of Labor Deputy Secretary Seth Harris, assuring us this morning that Obamacare’s health insurance exchange website is working just fine.
But don’t pick on Seth. He’s just parroting the White House:
Worth a RT: The #Obamacare marketplaces are open for business. Learn more and #GetCovered at http://t.co/GNfbftrfo3 pic.twitter.com/ECh9MHFEj4

Hooray!
Day 1 Recap: 4.7mm visitors to http://t.co/69HwNqtDjO. 190k calls. Uninsured Americans are enrolling. Millions want to #GetCovered

HHS told a (Fort Myers, FL) News-Press reporter that any problems with the websites are solely the fault of high traffic, not design flaws:
HHS: All glitches on http://t.co/eUXMq87fkO are attributable to "high volume," not design flaws.

Open for business? No design flaws? Uninsured people are enrolling? Great news! Apparently all those glitches that Twitchy noticed yesterday have been resolved.
Then again, maybe not…

@HealthCareGov OHIO exchange website still too busy at 2:30am? I guess this must be at peak hours. #Obamacare

A sign of progress, on the Obamacare website, you still can't buy insurance, but you can get your identity stolen.

Anyone else keep on having http://t.co/LiNf0pHwDe say you're giving an incorrect answer format for security questions?

Trying to help people #GetCovered is tough when @HealthCareGov website has been "busy" all night. I Want to know how many actually enrolled?
