Yes, really.
Via Denver Post:
Affordable Care Act reforms in Colorado hit a speed bump just hours after launch Tuesday, with a primary website telling consumers they couldn’t create accounts because of overwhelming volume.
Connect for Health Colorado officials said the glitch was fixed within hours and added they had anticipated worse computer problems than those that surfaced. […]
“We would prefer that not happen,” said coalition director Dede de Percin. “But having said that, a lot of people are shopping at this point, and you can certainly go in and look around. The high volume is great. It’s a problem, but it’s a good problem to have.”
Promoters and health insurers fanned out with multimedia ads to encourage sign-ups. Colorado HealthOP, a consumer-run cooperative selling insurance plans on the exchange, sent models in skimpy clothing — and sporting signs with information — to greet Denver’s 16th Street Mall lunch crowds.
