DC Health Link, the Washington, D.C. health insurance exchange, has proved to be a mighty hurdle for more than a couple of would-be enrollees. Rep. Darrell Issa was met with an error message on his first attempt. GOP Rep. Bill Flores tweeted his “awful” experience, which included installation of a new browser, four hours on hold and “dozens of pages of error messages.”
Sen. Ted Cruz staffer Amanda Carpenter also live-tweeted what she called her “freaking infuriating” experience, which stretched over a period of days. So it’s no surprise to see Sen. Lisa Murkowski complaining of three days of “browser glitches and frustration” before finally being enrolled in the D.C. health insurance exchange; that is, if her application isn’t one of 10 subject to errors.
@lisamurkowski Yeah, but you're not enrolled in a healthcare plan. And when you are, it may be garbled data the provider has received. 🙁

@lisamurkowski Also, some undesirables may have gotten your data, as well. I don't mean to be a wet blanket, but this party is LAME!

@lisamurkowski Why? Not why so long, but why sign up? It needs to be repealed ASAP along with anyone who voted for it.

Why sign up? Lawmakers and their staffers are required to.
@lisamurkowski It took you 3 days….lol. It took me ZERO days. I WILL NOT sign up for that piece of crap legislation
