New ‘deadline’ for fixing Obamacare glitches seen in mid-November

WASHINGTON, Oct 12: – The U.S. Administration has a  little over a month to fix the technology problems crippling its online health insurance marketplace, or jeopardize the goal of signing up millions of Americans in time for benefits under President Barack Obama’s healthcare law, experts said on Thursday. Problems with the federal marketplace’s entry portal serving 36 states, the website Healthcare.Gov, continued for a 10th day on Thursday despite signs of gradual improvement, keeping a brake on the ability of consumers to shop for federally subsidized health coverage.
