Florida's uninsured citizens, who are relying on the federal government to create and manage an online health-insurance shopping site called the "Marketplace," can relax a little, after months of hearing that the project won't be ready in time for the grand opening Oct. 1.

To be sure, experts predict that there could be glitches in the rollout, as there was when the Medicare drug plan came online in 2006.
