GAO: Healthcare.gov isn't perfect, but it’s a whole lot better

Management of HealthCare.gov isn't perfect, but it's far better off than it was a year-and-half ago. Much of a new report from the Government Accountability Officere hashed all the problems that caused the initial rollout of HealthCare.gov to be a mess. But it also pointed to the current state of the website as much improved. How so? In the immediate aftermath of the debacle, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services doubled the number of servers for systems supporting HealthCare.gov, added virtual machines for the Enterprise Identity Management and Federally-Facilitated Marketplace, and replaced a virtual database with a high-capacity physical database, the GAO reported.
