White House Claims 375,000 Visits to Health Site Monday Before Noon 
--------------------------------------------------------------------


 
The White House says 375,000 people visited the government's healthcare
website on Monday before noon. The reported spike in traffic came after
the Obama administration claimed it had met its goal for improvements
following the site's disastrous rollout. But the Washington Post reports
roughly a third of people who have signed up for health plans through
the federal marketplace may not get the coverage they want due to
rampant, computer-generated errors. The mistakes include duplicate
enrollments, incorrect information and failure to notify insurers about
new customers.
