Obamacare Online Exchanges: 9 Real Life Experiences from Money Morning Readers

Considering taxpayers shelled out more than $500 million to build the Obamacare online exchanges, we'd like to know how they're actually operating, for good or for bad.

We know it's not all good...

For example, the federal government is operating an exchange for 36 states, and it's seen some of the worst complications. Part of the problem is volume: Within three days, a whopping 8.6 million people visited healthcare.gov.

We also know that Obamacare's success depends on having a large number of people enroll - especially the younger, healthier crowd. The Congressional Budget Office says Obamacare needs 7 million people to sign up at a minimum for it to stay afloat financially.

In the first week after launching, Obamacare's primary online signup saw only 51,000 enrollees.

Note: Are you disheartened by the Obamacare facts you've heard? Even if you don't support Obamacare, there are ways to use it to your advantage...

But are these paltry numbers simply the result of online exchange glitches?

We asked readers for their real-life exchange experiences, not to be skewed by the rhetoric getting dumped into the media daily from politicians in both camps.

Via our Money Morning Facebook page, readers shared their personal experience in trying to get information or sign up for Obamacare through online exchanges.

Here's what they've seen so far:

STOP POSTING LIES. SITES LIKE THIS ARE TOTAL CRAP AND YOU KNOW IT. THE MERE FACT THAT ANYONE IS BEING FORCED TO DROP THEIR PRESENT COVERAGE IS BULL. IF YOU CAN'T WIN BY TELLING THE TRUTH YOU ARE THE POBLEM NOT THE SOLUTION.

Total crap, lies? … How about reality?

The grocery chain where my daughter works was just forced into dropping coverage on their part time employees – they were told that they'd have to go to the "exchanges" for coverage.
But the website is barely working, if at all. She said that one person who was partially successful found the costs to be MUCH higher than they were told it would be.

All of the part time employees are very upset and feel lied to. They don't know what to do. That, my friend is reality – and the truth. If you want to keep licking the boots of your masters – go right ahead, but many are feeling the pain of a knife being stuck in their back.

Mike Adams (AKA the Health Ranger), a person with a strong IT background running large R&D projects, had this to say about the Obamacare software:

AMERICA'S LOW INTELLIGENCE QUOTIENT (x=92)

Fox News (Huckabee ?) recently mentioned a recent poll that found most of the uninsured still believe Obama will "take care" of them. This is all they know about it, or can understand. They will be roped-into the system with false expections regarding how they will be treated. Sure, its better than "nothing", but how much better? Everyone will get "some" health care, but nobody, even Democratic union members, will be allowed to enjoy anymore $0 cost employer- paid free health care (a.k.a. "cadillac health care plans"). That practice will end in 2014.
