White House spokesman Jay Carney confirmed today that the White House has lowered the bar of success for HealthCare.gov. “Technical difficulties” and other problems will keep 2 out of 10 Americans from signing up through the site, once it’s up and running like it’s supposed to, which is supposed to happen by the end of November.
O & the Dems set a new bar for Obamacare! They say 80% it the new 100% … so that last 20% are worthless & it is Bush's fault

Obama has smart, paradigm-changing way to get http://t.co/REtSjzmkkE functioning at 100%: Redefining 100% as 80% http://t.co/nzrxAZMICE

So, once the site is running at 80 percent capacity on Dec. 1, will that pent up demand show in millions of new enrollments?

@JonahNRO Even if the website is ready by 12/1 (which is far from clear), I imagine that most of the pent-up demand has already dissipated.

@JonahNRO Surely they'll have a logical excuse for us when they don't.
