The new healthcare exchange, which is a key part of the Obamacare law, launched Tuesday, and it's hard to find anyone in Middle Tennessee who has actually been able to sign up.

Scores of people came to places like the Jefferson Street Missionary Baptist Church in Nashville to get help signing up on the first day of open enrollment, but everyone, like Frances Totten, left empty-handed.

"Too many people on at one time," she said.

A day later, the problems with the federal website have persisted.

Family and Children's Services is the umbrella agency that helps people in Nashville sign up. Mike Kessen, vice president of program operations, echoes what officials in Washington are saying: high demand swamped the federal website.

"I'm not surprised there are some glitches," Kessen said...

There's more if you care to see what they really said. http://www.wsmv.com/story/23595298/problems-persist-for-those-hoping-to-enroll-in-obamacare

You Conservatives are actually trying to criticize Obamacare by citing trouble with the website? Wouldn't these issues solely be the result of people clamoring to get Obamacare?

This is as stupid as trying to defund Obamacare. You don't criticize something by implying how great it is.

It certainly is, stupid.

Surely, after 3 days they could find 1 Navigator who had successfully navigated a citizen through the O'BomberCare maze.

Listen up!

O'BomberCare is a Marxist Socialist Progressive initiative. They own it...and all the trouble and expense it's causing.

Those who want government run single payer health insurance ARE commie pinkos.

99% of Obamacare applications hit a wall

It's a batting average that won't land the federal marketplace for Obamacare into the Healthcare Hall of Fame.

As few as 1 in 100 applications on the federal exchange contains enough information to enroll the applicant in a plan, several insurance industry sources told CNBC on Friday. Some of the problems involve how the exchange's software collects and verifies an applicant's data.

"It is extraordinary that these systems weren't ready," said Sumit Nijhawan, CEO of Infogix, which handles data integrity issues for major insurers including WellPoint and Cigna, as well as multiple Blue Cross Blue Shield affiliates.
