The Obama administration hopes to upgrade the performance of its faltering HealthCare.gov website this weekend by adding new capacity just two weeks before a crucial deadline for having it running smoothly, a presidential adviser said on Friday.

"We will be bringing additional servers online, as well as additional database capacity and data storage. With these upgrades, we will significantly increase the system's capacity," President Barack Obama's website adviser Jeffrey Zients told reporters in a conference call.

On Friday, Zients sounded less cautious than a week earlier, when he described the site as being "a long way from where it needs to be" with higher volumes of visitors exposing new problems.

He said round-the-clock efforts to correct HealthCare.gov's problems by hundreds of contractors have made "measurable" progress, allowing higher volumes of visitors to enter the site. A senior administration official told a congressional oversight panel this week that the system can now process nearly 17,000 registrations per hour.

The mainstream media ignores the fact that the website is improving to the point that officials are sending e-mails to folks who previously applied to try again. Instead, the MSM portrays the website in binary form: It works or it doesn't work, which is crazy. Even Google is occasionally, particularly during the period they were fiddling with their search algorithm a few weeks ago when it suddenly did not integrate well with some browsers.

1. No reporting this cause it infers with their constant bashing of Obamacare

and that Obama's presidency is over scenario. Meanwhile, the GOPers are basting in their "golden" moments . . . all the time the true patriots, the American people are taking advantage of ACA! Election time in 2014, Dems win the house and keep the senate and the GOPers will be scratching their collective arses wondering what went wrong.

2. Exactly.

I've sure the likes of ABC, CBS, CNN (!!!), NBC, NPR and PBS are just waiting...drooling...that something, PLEASE ANYTHING, will go wrong.

I think it was here, an article that this past week had no outages and that it was handling about 20k to 25k being on at the same time.

AND, it WILL only get better.

Report that, you stupid fucking impotent media!

p.s....just seeing shit like this makes my blood boil:

"...hopes to upgrade the performance of its faltering HealthCare.gov..."

Again, with no mention of the past week!

3. This doesn't fit the narrative. Needs more mindless bashing.

4. They also need to go on national teevee and say "rightwing hackers are 1 reason why we had so many

problems. The justice department will treat them as they did wiki-leakers".

Nope. Democrats won't take the battle to the republicans.
