Almost nothing about Obamacare's federal exchange system is working. It's almost impressive how comprehensive the federal system's technical failures are. Just about every part of the system that has been reported on seems to have problems, many of which are quite serious.

It's a near-total failure. All the major segments of the system—the user end, the insurer end, the data-routing in the middle, the plan information on display, the connections with state-run legacy systems—are either problem-plagued or broken entirely.
