You don't even know why it wasn't functioning properly in some states do you? There was a very good discussion on this on Bloomberg this morning. Basically many of the red states were fighting this thing until the very end, so instead of setting up their own exchanges (like many of the blue states did) they all had to defer to a federal one at the last minute. So with millions of people all trying to access it at the same time things were bound to get screwy. I'd think that as a gamer you'd see this coming, especially since the private industry even has trouble preparing for just a few hundred thousand people to be slamming their servers all at once.

This was the first two weeks by the way and after the first two days. site traffic was down 80%. 80 -blam!-ing percent! More people would have been enrolled then if this plan so great.
