Obamacare: Mended, But Not Fixed

摘要

The federal government says healthcare.gov is working for "the vast majority of users." Now comes the more important part. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has plenty of numbers to back up its claim that the website is mended. It cites more than 400 bug fixes, pages that load in one second (down from eight) and crash less than 1 percent of the time (down from 6 percent), and a website that's functioning more than 90 percent of the time, up from 43 percent a month ago. The site can now handle 50,000 users at once, twice as many as two weeks ago, and as many as 800,000 a day can sign up through it.
