The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services scheduled a conference call to provide an update on the progress of the HealthCare.gov website. People who dialed into the call were kept waiting 40 minutes:
Hopefully it's not a web conference. RT @PhilipAKlein: CMS call currently running 30 minutes late.

If I hang up on now on the CMS briefing call, will I get a call back when it actually starts? #queuing

Eventually the call started:
The (people who said you could keep your) doctor will see you now. RT @philipaklein: Yay — CMS call starting — and just 41 minutes late!

In HealthCare.gov terminology, a 40 minute wait is defined as a “very brief” delay.
