OH GOD!!! AP news is harping on the ACA website going down

[bigdarryl]

Anyone know what is going on with healthcare.gov is it down

[Skinner]

1. If so, I'm guessing it has something to do with last-minute traffic.

Just a guess.

[LisaL]

3. Most likely.

Traffic surge of people trying to sign up before the deadline.

2. Fucksnooze is all over it too

[VanillaRhapsody]

4. Its up and running again.....crashed by so many users....

The fact that they are reporting it shows they are DESPERATE to find something negative to "report".

2 million folks were on the site over the weekend.

9. The Whitehouse is reporting it wasn't because of the traffic

[VanillaRhapsody]

11. Well maybe not....but that is alot of visitors to such a complex site...

[riqster]

6. It's bullshit.

I just tried, it's fine.

Lots of "news" sources are peddling that lie: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024758568

7. The website is not the problem with ACA.

Idiotic states like IN that did not set up an exchange and did not expand Medicaid are the problem.

[NYC_SKP]

12. That will change when voters learn what they're missing.

And vote out the haters.

13. NJ didn't set up an exchange, but the state did expand Medicaid.

The Indiana exchange is run by the federal government.

If the state does expand Medicaid, the exchange will still be federally run.
