Weeks of frantic technical work appear to have made the government's health care website easier for consumers to use. But that does not mean everyone who signs up for insurance can enroll in a health plan.
The problem is that so-called back end systems, which are supposed to deliver consumer information to insurers, still have not been fixed. And with coverage for many people scheduled to begin in just 30 days, insurers are worried the repairs may not be completed in time.
''Until the enrollment process is working from end to end, many consumers will not be able to enroll in coverage,'' said Karen M. Ignagni, president of America's Health Insurance Plans, a trade group.
The issues are vexing and complex. Some insurers say they have been deluged with phone calls from people who believe they have signed up for a particular health plan, only to find that the company has no record of the enrollment. Others say information they received about new enrollees was inaccurate or incomplete, so they had to track down additional data — a laborious task that would not be feasible if data is missing for tens of thousands of consumers.

This is the Progressive Era, man! It's the good intentions that matter...because we care! :)
PS
Julia really is a hottie.
These people should be shopping for something like LifeLock , FAST

First of all, why would you even want to bronze it? Oh, that's right, it's the progressive thing to do.
Secondly, IF you do manage to get a shine on it, it is still a turd.
Thirdly, no matter what you do it will not float.
Whatever problems with enrollment surface after Jan 1 will be 100% the fault of the insurance companies themselves, you can count on it. In this administration the buck never even comes close to stopping anywhere.
Obama can take all the victory laps he wants; the facts on this will out.
Mission Accomplished
