Lt. Gov. Anthony G. Brown,
who was tapped to oversee health care reform in Maryland, spoke for the

"The state stumbled out of the gate," he said at a meeting of the Maryland Health Care Reform Coordinating Council, an advisory panel that he co-chairs. It was the first meeting since the health care exchange was launched Oct. 1.
State officials have seen a deluge of complaints from uninsured or underinsured consumers who wanted to buy coverage on the exchange but said they could not register, browse plans or complete applications because of technical difficulties.
