Here’s HealthCare.Gov’s Twitter Feed Going From Happy to Really Sorry in Just a Few Hours
ObamaCare launched this morning, and after three years of preparation, HealthCare.gov was fired up and ready to go!
Today is the first day of open enrollment! Go to http://t.co/1MVLQtMu72 now to apply & #GetCovered!

But as we all know, ObamaCare isn’t ready for prime time (and it never will be.) HealthCare.gov quickly had to acknowledge it was failing.
Thanks for all your comments and updates as you enroll. We apologize that wait times on the site and hotline are longer than expected! (1/2)

We’re working to fix these issues as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience (2/2)

They soon started responding to people who were complaining about the mismanaged, error-ridden ObamaCare site.
@elmnmd We apologize for the technical difficulties. We are working to fix these issues as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience!

More glitches, errors, pains, frustrations, and failing government bureaucrats – that’s life under ObamaCare.
