Tech Tip for Healthcare.gov

Tech tip:

Did you run into trouble trying to create a user account at http://www.healthcare.gov last week?

An Important Technical Tip

If you are working with a form on a web site, and that web site seems to be stalling or slow to respond:

Don’t.

Just take a breath, slow down, bookmark the site or page, and come back later.

If the web site is overloaded with too much traffic or if there is some sort of bug in the coding , then there is very strong possibility that the data you enter is going to be lost.

If the system is running slowly because it is overloaded, you are not helping by adding to the load.
