were a disaster, and let s not sugar coat it. they were terrible. and it was then we had the tech surge under jeff zients, that brought back a pretty acceptably functioning website, but it certainly isn t hasn t gotten to an a level. there s more work to be done on that, and a whole series of ways. you need a better customer experience. you need shorter shopping times, below 30 minutes. i think the spanish language version needs to get up and running and better. but the fact is, 7.5 million people were able to use it, able to get through the process, get insurance. and that s, i think, the real triumph, and it does show you fundamentally how people back is the lack of affordable health care. it wasn t complications, it wasn t that they wanted to go without health insurance. it s just that they didn t have an option and now they have a
