I believe when social security and medicare was enacted it was also a mess at first... I created an account just a couple days ago and still don't understand my options from the website, but I understand it's gonna take a little time to get the kinks worked out... too early to just throw in the towel

This is the woman who introduced Obama today.

1st Delaware resident signs up for Obamacare

SELBYVILLE, Del. — She needed seven hours of waiting on the phone and sitting in front of her computer, but Janice Baker can claim something few people in the First State can at the moment: She has signed up for health coverage through Delaware's insurance marketplace....

"I started looking right at Oct. 1. I had made several attempts online to enroll and activate my membership. I could not get in to save my life," Baker said Tuesday.

She switched to the phone, dialing the toll-free number that the government set up. But after 1½ hours on the phone, her sign-up attempts were for naught when the representative's computer locked up. If that wasn't enough, the same thing happened the next time she called.

Not until Baker went online after clearing her computer's Internet browsing history, cookies and other temporary data — a suggestion she said she found on the www.healthcare.gov site — did she have success.

"Right after that, I was able to apply," Baker said. "It might not be the government computers. It may be your own sitting in front of you."
