So people can just window shop.
My status has been "In Progress" for days now. It sure would be nice if I could get in and start comparing things.
I could be wrong, but as of now it looks as if I would be better off if my employer stopped offering healthcare. That way I would qualify for subsidies, and so would my coworkers.
I can't be sure about this because I can't get in and compare. It sure would be nice if there were a mirror site up so that we could start exploring options.

You could still qualify for subsidies if your salary is within 400% of the poverty level

In general, employees who are offered insurance through work are not eligible for subsidized exchange coverage, so long as their insurance meets specified requirements. You would only be eligible for subsidized exchange coverage if your income is between 1 and 4 times the federal poverty level and you would have to pay more than 9.5% of your household income for your own coverage through the insurance offered by your employer

but the subsidies will still be available....hence the $45,000 per year for a single person.
from your quote:
"You would only be eligible for subsidized exchange coverage if your income is between 1 and 4 times the federal poverty level and you would have to pay more than 9.5% of your household income for your own coverage through the insurance offered by your employer"
I am not eligible as I make more than that.
