They think we are exempt. We are not. I went through this tortuous process for two hours because of all kinds of technical problems. I hit the confirm button. Error--not enrolled. I had to do it all over again. The second time I got a confirmation. I told my staff to print it--you are enrolled in the DC exchange; you are part of ObamaCare now. I got the piece of paper, my secretary goes down to the disbursing office to confirm it, and they say: Senator Coats is not enrolled. How about this piece of paper?

And there are horror stories I have heard from people who have tried not just 2 times or 10 times but 21 times.
