And this is the system Obama has been pointing to as a success. Note: I got a letter the other day saying my plan was being cancelled and that I needed to reapply.

The state website residents must use to sign up for Obamacare health plans is riddled with infuriating computer flaws that cut off people with hyphenated names and force others to falsely say they are prison inmates or mental patients before they can finish their applications, a Herald review found.
The review comes just a week after President Obama came to Massachusetts — the birthplace of Romneycare, the model for the White House’s universal health care plan — to defend massive problems with the national website.
The review of angry posts from scores of frustrated applicants on the Massachusetts Health Connector website and Facebook page found a wide range of complaints, from frequent computer crashes, to long waits on the phone, to absurd glitches. […]
The Health Connector yesterday refused to answer even basic questions about the raft of complaints, and instead issued a statement.
“We know some users have had frustrating experiences, and we are doing everything possible to fix the issues those individuals are experiencing,” said spokesman Jason Lefferts.
“As we are working through the bugs in our system, we encourage people to contact one of our local Navigators for help in completing an application,” Lefferts said.
