No need to shut it down. The Obamacare health insurance exchange websites don’t work.

Keep getting errors on the health insurance exchange/marketplace. Won't let me register. Grrr. — Philip Taylor, CPA (@ptmoney) October 1, 2013

Spent 10 minutes test-driving MD health exchange signup. 1 hr 40 mins in, it can't be done. http://t.co/rhYt1JaWhK — Derek Wallbank (@dwallbank) October 1, 2013

@HealthCareGov FYI, the exchange site is not working for setting up an account, nor is the chat feature for help. Any advice? — Don M Fox (@DonMFox) October 1, 2013

3 steps into the new health care exchange website and it's already not working. Typical 4 our government! pic.twitter.com/yl3ZfhrkOy — Randy Carder (@Randy_Carder) October 1, 2013

Who will be blamed for this mess?

It appears the anarchists have shut down the Obamacare exchange website. — Josh Jordan (@NumbersMuncher) October 1, 2013

[Update]

Welcome to HealthCare.gov! Good luck trying to create an account on the national Obamacare website.

Recommend waiting on @healthcaregov website-all kinds of access issues & error messages-took me almost an hour just to get an account — Cathy Miller (@millercathy) October 1, 2013

The http://t.co/EwQCTg4vH3 website is down now. Apparently, I'm not the only American actually willing to use the ACA marketplace. — Robin Burks (@sunriserobin) October 1, 2013

Trying to browse the @HealthCareGov website. When creating account, security question options won't show up. Can't move forward. — Jason Piscia (@jasonpiscia) October 1, 2013

Trying to create a http://t.co/0gQ1tJei5A account is harder than getting GA tickets for @nineinchnails. — Trinity (@beersandbras) October 1, 2013

Not impressed with http://t.co/NO4S79qsDL. Could the govt not afford decent programmers & servers? 2 hours & can't even get acct set up — AllyIowa (@allyiowa) October 1, 2013

http://t.co/tNSeHGZvOa bogged down, won’t even populate security question drop downs — spara (@spara) October 1, 2013

4 tries and can't create an account on http://t.co/5rLVSnIuWN will try again later today #Obamacare — Claire Lama (@ClaireBrynt) October 1, 2013

@HealthCareGov page 3 of registration is showing blank questions not allowing for registration. Plz fix ASAP, can't wait to see the exchange — Eric Miller (@Eric2xU) October 1, 2013
