The Washington state health care exchange website was temporarily down on Wednesday morning as a result of a digital snag in Washington, D.C.
Michael Marchand, spokesman for the state exchange, says Washington state's website depends on a component of the federal system to work. At the moment, it doesn't work, but once it's fixed, the state site can start accepting applications again.
He spoke to KPLU's Ed Ronco about the details during Morning Edition.
