Workers continue to try and get the website fully operational. 

 

The last two months the website has had plenty of technical problems.

 

But some people aren't surprised, like Linda Hendrix who was signing up for healthcare at the recent application fair in Bend.

 

"This is a huge thing.  Maybe if they started eons ago before insurance companies got involoved.  This is to be expected.  There's going to be tons of bugs.  It's going to take time."

 

Last week, the Director  of Cover Oregon, Rocky King resigned.

 

He's been on medical leave for the last couple months.
