The fed site reeks of a web site and backend designed by a committee, but never having been tested as a system under a load. It's not an uncommon problem in industry either, though there (hopefully) QA throws up a warning and the schedule gets slipped or the system rolls out piecemeal. I had gathered the state sites were doing okay, not that I have tried to use any. For a reasonably technical discussion: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/10/the-seven-deadly-sins-of-healthcare-gov/ Worth reading the comments also, if you are still interested by the end.
