WASHINGTON (AP) -- It should be working well by the end of November. That's the Obama administration's rough timetable for completing a long list of fixes to HealthCare.gov, the new, trouble-plagued website for uninsured Americans to get coverage.

Summarizing a week's worth of intensive diagnostics, the administration acknowledged Friday the site has dozens of complex problems and tapped a private company to oversee fixes.

Jeffrey Zients, a management consultant brought in by the White House to assess the extent of problems, told reporters his review found dozens of issues across the entire system. The site is made up of layers of components that are meant to interact in real time with consumers, government agencies and insurance company computers.

It will take a lot of work, but "HealthCare.gov is fixable," Zients declared.

The biggest black eye that republicans can suffer would be to have the ACA site working well and people signing up for plans to start on Jan 1. A working ACA is death for republicans in November 2014 because regardless of the number of people they trot out saying their rates have gone up, there will be many times that amount whose rates went down, dramatically down in many cases.

The Obama Administration handed republicans a gift with the fucked up ACA website roll-out, the Administration must now take away that gift and run a deep shiv across the republican's throats.
