Seems like they work about as well as any other major launch.

Problem is, some people will spin this as a government failure and as more ammo stating the government can't do health care.

I feel they should have made it more clear that no plans will take effect until Jan 1st, so there is no need to rush to sign up.

While many of the dates where the provisions for ACA could have been clearer, it is important to remember it has been delayed over and over pushing out the implementation dates many times over.

So again, much like any other major roll out or release.

No rush to sign up specifically, but at least some states have had a blackout on all pricing info, and people do need to start at least budgeting for next year, and without knowing how much you'll need to pay, it's hard to do that.

Will it matter if I find out today or tomorrow? Probably not. It would have been nice to have had a better functioning website, given that they've known about this for a while and should have an effectively unlimited budget.
