Don’t give up on the Affordable Care Act

The world of health insurance is continually changing and new information is continually being released almost every day about the Affordable Care Act. The biggest headline recently has been how difficult is it to access the Obamacare website. Those who have tried to sign up have either experienced long lags while applying online or have not been able to access the site at all.

According to CNN, President Barack Obama and the Health Secretary, Kathleen Sebelius, are urging people to not give up and to give the site another chance. They are saying the site has been reworked an all of the bugs are out fixed. However, even though the bugs have been fixed, some officials are not encouraging everyone to log on and start applying. This is to help prevent HealthCare.gov from being overwhelmed and they are still aiming for the November 30 deadline for website improvements.

The main cause for the website’s complications is capacity. The site was only designed to host a certain number of users at a single time. On October 1, 2013, the maximum capacity was overreached by more than 100 percent, which is what caused the breakdown of the system.
