Obamacare Rolls-Out Despite Gov't Shutdown

While differences over the Affordable Care Act may have caused this month's government shutdown, the shutdown didn't stop the rollout of Obamacare.

• Consumers in the 14 states that are running their own sign-up sites (and not using HealthCare.gov as the gateway to sign up new insurance customers) have had more luck, resulting in 257,000 new sign-ups

• The cost of insurance premiums from state to state has become clearer, thanks to the release of online maps showing premiums based on age and sex.
