I was eager to sign up for our Obamacare coverage, and started today. But the web site (coveredca.com), has a lot of problems, and is really, really slow. Not surprising, but it's best to wait awhile.
You'd think they'd get some good web designers in there. Instead, they've incorporated all the problems of other web pages. For example:
1. When you enter your SSN or phone, you cannot include dashes. It would be easy for the computer to remove dashes, but apparently that was too hard.
2. When I enter my address it tells me that it's different from what's on file.
I entered:
100 Street Name Dr.
It has on file:
100 Street Name, Dr.
Do I not rock the boat and go with the one on file??
3. The passwords are restricted in which characters are allowed, so that my standard password system does not work.
4. You must enter no less that five security questions -- things like "What was the year of your best sports moment?" and "If you were to choose a new first name, what would it be?"
5. The delay is several minutes for some pages.
6. The "Apply" option is grayed out for no known reason.
7. If I go to my account page, it looks like this:
But, it will be worth the hassle to save so much money.
