On Sunday, the Department of Health and Human Services said that it’s now bringing in the big guns: ‘Our team is bringing in some of the best and brightest from both inside and outside government to scrub in with the [HHS] team and help improve HealthCare.gov,’ the blog post reads. ‘We’re also putting in place tools and processes to aggressively monitor and identify parts of HealthCare.gov where individuals are encountering errors or having difficulty using the site, so we can prioritize and fix them.’ Other emergency measures being taken as part of what HHS calls a ‘tech surge’ include defining new test processes to prevent new problems and regularly patching bugs during off-peak hours. Still unclear is how long it will take to fix the site. As recently reported on Slashdot, that could be anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months.”… itwbennett writes “It’s no secret that the healthcare.gov website has been plagued by problems since its launch 3 weeks ago.
