HealthCare.Gov has relaunched — and these tweets show it’s working

The eight or so hours that Obamacare's open enrollment has existed so far this year, something stands out to me: Healthcare.gov seems to be working.

Good Luck Obamacare.. for all those who will Benefit in the Future and to all those who are Benefitting from it NOW!

[Cha]

1. K4Obamacare!

[Cha]

2. KICK4Obamacare!

[freshwest]

3. Oh, noes!

[Cha]

5. The Bastids, fresh!

Mahalo,freshwest!

[Kath1]

4. i'm 56 and have been hearing about health care reforn for 40 years.

Finally, we have a Preident who acted on it.

I'm signed up and it isn't any worse (probably better) than what I had befiore.

Single payer would better, in my opinion, but Obamacare works fine for me!

[Cha]

8. Single Payer would be much better, Kath.. but there are many who think Obamacare is a good

foundation for that.. maybe that's what the repubs are so scared of? That and they, foolishly for them.. named it "Obamacare"!

I liked your sig line so much.. now I'm incorporating it into mine.. Mahalo!

[Kath1]

11. Very cool, sister!

I love my sig line. too! That is a REAL compliment to me that you like it.

I look at Obamacare (good) as stepping stone to single payer (even better). I think Mr. President feels the same way.

PEACE! And as you say, MAHALO, sister!

[Cha]

12. "People Before Profits"!

Peace to, Kath!~

[Kath1]

17. "People Before Profits"! Couldn't think of anything better than that!

Daryl Hanna being arrested for standing up for OUR environment. Peace.

[area51]

19. Even better:

Dr. Margaret Flowers being arrested for advocating for single-payer.

6. Daughter loves Obamacare!

She told me her BC is much less expensive than before she signed up on the Maryland exchange.

She's benefitting from it RIGHT NOW!

[Cha]

21. Great to hear, Kath.. saving $$$$ that can be well spent elsewhere!

[Overseas]

7. K&R. Glad to hear it.

[Cha]

10. Ah you got to the

meat of the subject, Overseas.

[SheilaT]

9. It is so awful that so many people now have affordable health care.

Oh, the humanity!

I expect I don't need the sarcasm thingy.

And while it is true that for some rates are going up, and that others are VERY unhappy that they can no longer have a totally crap insurance that covers nothing, this is a decent start.

I sincerely hope that we are on the path to a real first world health care system.

As someone who only recently went on Medicare, I can see that we need to start with Medicare For All. I am in awe of how good Medicare is, at least for me. I signed up for an Advantage Plan (there are many options, and your choice may well be different from mine) and I have zero co-pay for a regular doctor visit, including whatever tests they want to run. Wow. Even though much of my life I've had decent health insurance, I've also been amazingly healthy and have generally avoided doctors as best I can. I need to deal with my high blood pressure and other relatively trivial issues, and it is so nice to go to a doctor and have zero co-pay. The most recent time I had a doctor visit, just a few weeks ago, while I was waiting to be called into the examining room, I listened to other patients checking in. $25 copay, or $30 copay. Now, I can afford those amounts if I must, but it is so nice to have a zero copay. Which is what it should be for all of us for such routine visits. And probably even for all the non routine visits.

That is a very Important point, Sheila.

Glad Medicare is working so well for you and that you have Zero Co-pays!

Here's to Medicare for All/Single Payer in our Future!

[Kath1]

18. "Here's to Medicare for All/Single Payer in our Future!"

I'll raise my glass to that!

Should have been done a long time ago!

[Cha]

20. ..

Whatever drink you want to toast with, K!

[joshdawg]

22. I'd like to join in on that.

We need Medicare for All/Single Payer right now. But, Obamacare is ok for now.
Cheers!

27. k&R I don't benefit from it personally since I get it from work but know many who do.

And, I am smart enough to realize that we all benefit from everyone having access to healthcare.

You would think the Ebola crisis hitting home would be enough, for even those without historic knowledge of epidemics, to start supporting some form of government sponsored health care for all.

[Cha]

28. Great point, Live and Learn.. about the Ebola crisis hitting close to home. Maybe that's

why "23,000 signed up in the first 8 hours"!?

I don't have O-Care either.. I have Health Insurance through Quest in Hawaii but I want everyone to have affordable health care.. depending on their income. So Many should qualify for no co-pay at all!

[Live and Learn]

29. Health care should be considered a human right.

In fact, i would extend that right to animals too.

I would prefer it be covered by tax dollars and free for all but the ACA is the next best thing.

[Cha]

30. Yes, it should be free..and maybe someday in our Country it will be. Animals too.. little

expensive things!

[Bluenorthwest]

34. I would have thought that the AIDS crisis hitting home in the 80's would have been enough

to make Amerians take notice. But it was not. For what it's worth, my first protest outside an Insurance Company was circa 1985, demonstrating against benefits and treatments being denied to people with AIDS and calling for Universal Health Care.
What actually happened at that time was nothing. Reagan and his Republican Party watched more than 20,000 Americans die without saying so much as a word about it.
Thus far, AIDS has killed about 36 million people and is still the leading cause of death in Africa, Ebola is not even in the top 5.
At least with Ebola we had a President with the sense to take action early in Africa and at home. People freaked out about one death and two sick nurses. 20,000 dead and there was apathy.
Perspective.

Thank you President Obama! Now we need Democratic candidates who are proud of this achievement and will destroy the opposition on this point .

42. Well done, Cha!

More and more Americans are signing up and those who had already signed up, from your link, 71% are happy with their coverage.

There is NO going back now, imo.

[Doctor_J]

43. Worst news of the day

There is NO going back now, imo.

Unfortunately you're right. We'll never have actual healthcare now that everything's been given to the insurance profiteers.

[Spazito]

44. Why would you want to go back to the atrocious system that was in place before...

Obamacare? I find those who want to go back lack understanding and empathy for those who would, again, have NO coverage.

[Cha]

46. Thank you, Spazito.. Here's to not ever going backwards on US Health Care.. Only

Forward!

[Spazito]

47. Absolutely!
