It was announced by President Obama's chief of staff on Tuesday that over 1 million people visited the HealthCare.gov website on Monday. Monday was the first weekday that the site has been up since it underwent a major overhaul to fix major glitches that plagued the sites visitors since it was established in October.

On Sunday Administration officials said the HealthCare.gov site can now handle 800,000-plus visitors a day with an error rate of less than 1%, and that over 400 bugs in the site have been fixed.

The site, it is reported by Jeffrey Zients, who led the repair effort, is now able to serve 50,000 visitors simultaneously. He added that the error rates and page-load times are now down to an acceptable level. He also explained at a press conference for the announcement that visitors will be put into a queuing system when the 50,000-visitor threshhold is reached and can enter an email an be notified when the site has openings to visit the site at the front of the queu. Of the ones who took advantage of that option to submit an email address, only half returned to the site.

With deadlines quickly approaching, the site still is fighting an uphill battle. Individuals with cancelled plans have until December 23rd to acquire coverage on the new Obamacare exchange by January 1st. This may prove difficult in light of the fact that the site is still experiencing glitches that insurers say is to blame for them receiving files riddled with errors coming from the web site.

Federal health officials state that they are aware that the site is still a work in progress and are also aware of the back-end issues of error-riddled and incomplete forms are being sent to insurers by the site.

The expected surge of uninsured flocking to the site, coupled with still uncorrected flaws in the site, may see many of those people remaining uninsured by the quickly approaching deadline.
