Here’s How Well Obamacare’s Customer-Service Live Chat Works
John Dickerson of Slate recently reported on a woman from Pennsylvania who has (unsuccessfully) attempted to sign up for coverage under the Affordable Care Act.
After logging on when the exchanges began at 8 a.m. on October 1, she immediately ran into problems. The site failed to record her information correctly and she could not alter the incorrect information it’d recorded, so “Alice” went to the website’s customer-service online chat. Here’s what happened:

[4:32:40 pm]: Alice
what does that mean?
[4:32:52 pm]: Alice
It says my application is “in Progress”
[4:33:12 pm]: Alice
Does that mean it is not completed and I can continue to try to edit it?
[4:33:55 pm]: Alice
