Healthcare.gov

Healthcare.gov is a Healthcare Exchange website created by and operated under the United States federal government as per the provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA, often known as 'ObamaCare'), designed to serve the residents of the thirty-six U.S. states that opted not to create their own state exchanges.[1] The PPACA, which was signed into law on March 23, 2010,[2] detailed the exchange system as a way to comparison shop between different possible health insurance options for an individual within his or her state. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthcare.gov

Launch Project Failure: The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) forecast that about seven million Americans would use the website to obtain coverage during the first year after its launch. The October 1, 2013 roll-out of Healthcare.gov went through as planned, despite the concurrent partial government shutdown. The website has been marred by serious technological problems since its launch, making it difficult for Americans to sign up for health insurance.[4] As of October 27, only about seven hundred thousand people have filed applications, with even less actually enrolled in plans.

Feb'2015: The “back end” of the Obamacare website still isn’t properly wired to the health insurance companies. It’s slow going for health plans to make sure the 11.4 million people who have signed up end up in the right plan. Subsidy payments aren’t automated, so the insurers get payments based on estimates. And adding information like a marriage or the birth of a child is a convoluted, multi-step process.
