re: #173 Targetpractice

There were problems with the roll-outs of SS and Medicare as well. Hell, does anybody today talk much about the issues with the roll-out of Part D, despite it not even being a full decade old? Of course not.

The only good thing I can see from all this hype is that it will have run its course by Thanksgiving or Xmas at the latest. My guess is the QA team is pretty busy right now performance testing different fixes for the website to see what’s stable enough to go out. It’s not like they have to reinvent the whole site - but it’s definitely a few weeks of repairs before the site will be up and fully capable of handling the 30 million customers it’s supposed to.

Not an issue in states like California and Kentucky that set up their own exchanges - mostly it’s the states that tried to sabotage the law that are suffering from this. Others just have an automatic redirect to a state-specific site.
