HealthCare.gov site response times are getting better
bigdarryl posted this article in the politics 2013 forum but I think it deserves more highlighting. 
Not everything about the website is doom and gloom.
So what are the baggers going to do in December when healthcare.gov works great and all the junk policy holders finally figure out their insurance company screwed them over? 
HealthCare.gov site response times are getting better

IDG News Service - Response times at the ailing HealthCare.gov have improved significantly in recent days as a technology team tries to fix the problems with the U.S. government's health-insurance shopping website, officials said.
Page response times in the first days after the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services launched the site Oct. 1 were around eight seconds, an "unacceptable" performance when fast-loading website response times are measured in milliseconds, said Jeffrey Zients, a former acting director at the White House Office of Management and Budget overseeing fixes to the site.
The current page response times are now less than one second -- or "1,000 milliseconds," as Zients described it -- but the team working on that issue still has a "lot to do there," he said during a press briefing Friday.
