PITTSBURGH: Too Many Customers Overwhelm Obamacare Website

Too Many Customers Overwhelm Obamacare Website
October 3, 2013 8:50 PM

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Unable to get healthinsurance because of a pre-existing condition, Julie Goodenough of Crafton was excited to sign up for coverage under the Affordable Care Act, but so far it’s been frustrating.

“I haven’t been able to sign up because I guess so many people are trying that it was crashing,” Goodenough told KDKA political editor Jon Delano. “So they said, try again in a few days, and still can’t get in there.”

She’s hardly alone. The website, www.healthcare.gov, comes up on screen but will not allow many to log in and get insurance.

“I just want to get signed up. That’s all I want to do,” said Goodenough.
