Alright, who the heck designed the healthcare.gov site?

[Roland99]

Looks nice but it's functionally impaired

Keeps telling me I've entered the same answer for multiple security questions.

Trying other browsers (IE and Chrome), the security question drop downs are EMPTY (they were empty at first in Firefox, too, had to reload a few times before they showed up)

Not quite fully cooked...anxious to see what's on the other side.

1. It's not accepting my login information anymore.

2. The system is overloaded - more than 2 million New Yorkers tried to sign up before 9AM!

3. Do you guys have cookies blocked?

Mine are always blocked by default, and that creates a lot of really unpredictable results.

Of course, it could just be that the servers are overwhelmed...

[Roland99]

5. Not really a matter of being overloaded

Unless an included .js file isn't being loaded properly but it's very consistent on just the security questions.

Seems programmatic in nature. Performance is good otherwise. No style sheets are failing to load.

[Ms. Toad]

7. Not calling to a different domain name for those questions?

I have problems with a lot of login scripts which silently send me to a different URL - where I have cookies blocked since it allowing session cookies for healthcare.gov wouldn't allow them wherever else they might have sent me.

Security questions might be in that same realm - something they wanted to store in a not obviously related location.

[Roland99]

8. Those are usually pulled from a data source I suppose

that could be the source of the issue then.


Oh well...I'll try in the morning.

I'm in the U.K. on business for a few weeks so it'll be the middle of the night in the States...might stand a better chance.

4. October is beta testing month... n/t

6. I haven't tried but saw this blow by blow on Kos.

I'll wait a few days to see if anyone comes up with some tips for the easiest way to navigate.

9. Does anyone know if we're all seeing the exact same process,

or if each state has its own sign-up screen?

10. you need to choose different security questions on the left hand side..

you favorite cuisine, you childhood toy etc for each of the three choices

[Roland99]

11. I would *IF* I could see the questions! That's the whole point

the dropdowns are EMPTY. I don't see the text of questions. Nothing drops down.



The one time I did managed to get questions to show I had unique options chosen and unique answers in all three.

[srican69]

12. that happened to me too .. cancel out and log back in ...and you will see it.

good luck ..

[llmart]

16. This has happened to me twice....

I closed out and tried again, but still no drop down menus to choose from in Security Questions. I'll try one more time (I'm using Chrome) but then will give up for the day.

[srican69]

13. I found firefox works best and Chrome is the worst .. IE is in the middle

so use firefox

[Roland99]

14. Tried that first

FF is my primary browser.

[srican69]

15. I got up at 4 am and got everything done ... my file is under review currently.

so get up early in the morning when the traffic will be relatively light - you should be able to sign up

[steve2470]

17. yep, 3 AM or 11 pm or so is the trick right now nt

[Roland99]

18. When I get up in the morning, it will be early back in the States

so i'll try my luck then!

[NightWatcher]

19. Give it a few days then try back. It's Day One and a ton of people are on the site

Relax and breathe, you have until mid December to sign up to get serviced on Jan 1, 2014. After that you can sign up as late as March.
