The Obama administration claimed victory Sunday for making HealthCare.gov workable for the vast majority of users, a standard that will be tested as millions of people flood the site in the next three weeks.
Sunday marked the passage of the administration's self-imposed deadline for fixing the broken ObamaCare enrollment website, which serves consumers in 36 states.
The agency that oversees HealthCare.gov said "we believe we have met the goal" of making the system navigable for most people, but cautioned that more fixes lie ahead.
"Dramatic progress has been made," the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) stated in a report released Sunday morning. "[But] there is more work to be done to continue to improve and enhance the website."
The mixed message highlights the challenge facing the Obama administration as it seeks to ensure that millions can sign up for individual health plans online by the end of March.
HealthCare.gov debuted with serious technical problems on Oct. 1, plunging President Obama into a political firestorm that engulfed the White House for two months.
The question now is whether the system can handle the high volume of user traffic expected in December. Consumers must complete the sign-up process by Dec. 23 in order to obtain plans that begin Jan. 1.
Administration officials also acknowledge that some problems with HealthCare.gov have yet to be fixed. The severity of these issues is unknown, but it is possible that some errors have not yet been discovered.

The first $600 million went to a no-bid contract.
Same phoney crap as the unemployment numbers.
Even if the site is “secure”, it’s not secure.
I’m not giving an iota of information to democrat and/ or union workers or political operatives.
Just not doing it.
Declare victory, no matter the defeat. LOL
RE: But I thought it was ready on October 1st.
Yes, and it will be even more ‘ready’ (NOTE THE QUOTES) On December 1st, and even “more readier” after that :)
Translation: we successfully duct taped the front bumper back onto the AMC Gremlin.
Soviet. Union.
Another great and “historical” Obama “victory” that people will be telling their grandchildren about for centuries. It’s Miller Time LOL! Clowns. I was brought up to DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME!
They can run but they can't hide. Too many people - those who are actually forced to try to use the thing - know the truth.
Really? Must be a friend of Obama company. Laundered that 600 million straight into his account somewhere under one of his many names
And don't forget the phoney inflation numbers.
So far it's failed from day one and hasn't stopped failing for a second of any minute.
You’re right. Too many people and government agencies have authorized access to the site. I’d like to know why Homeland Security is interested in my personal information.
The demonRATS use inflatable {and easily moveable goal posts}.
Issa needs to call a committee with teeth and cajones to demand and find out exactly where that 600 million went to. This is outrageous and criminal.
Translation: White House memo to media, you better get back on the team now and start reporting what a massive success this is. Put differently, you love Big Brother and always have. Remember, created or saved!!!
