YouTube Description
as posted by the channel"We apologize for the inconvenience. The Marketplace is currently undergoing regularly scheduled maintenance and will be back up Monday 10 / 7 / 3013." That's the message New Yorkers received this weekend when they attempted to sign up for health insurance via the new online health exchange or marketplace, a key component of Obamacare. While the New York website has taken down the notice, widespread computer problems have been reported across the nation since the state and federal marketplaces launched last Tuesday. Visitors to the federal HealthCare.gov also received a warning message this weekend reading, "The system is down at the moment. We're currently performing scheduled maintenance. Please try again later." It is unclear how many people have actually been able to sign up so far. We speak to Bill Curtis, senior vice president and chief scientist at the software quality analysis firm CAST, and director of the Consortium for IT Software Quality.
