Head Of Obamacare Web Team Apologizes And Pledges A Fix

Marilyn Tavenner apologized for all the web site problems with healthcare.gov but wouldn’t say how many people have registered so far.

Marilyn Tavenner, the head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, admitted that the healthcare.gov website had “not worked as well as it should” as she began her testimony before the House ways and means committee on Tuesday.

She was repeatedly grilled over the botched rollout, which froze on the day it was launched and has since been subject to widespread problems. In particular, she was pressed to give more details about how many people had successfully signed up to an insurance plan through the website…

“To the millions of Americans who’ve attempted to use HealthCare.gov to shop and enrol in healthcare coverage, I want to apologize to you that the website has not worked as well as it should. We know how desperately you need affordable coverage,” Tavenner said in her testimony to the committee.

She said the website “can and will be fixed” and that her team were already seeing improvements with the service.
