Carney: We Never Said Everyone Would Be Able to Enroll in ObamaCare by Today

CARNEY: “I would ask you to find anywhere where I said that everybody would be able to enroll instantly on this day.”
HENRY: “What's the goal then? [crosstalk] The goal is obviously to enroll more people, right?”
CARNEY: “Absolutely.”
HENRY: “So if they're still waiting – “
CARNEY: “Ed, I would point you to the fact that more people are visiting the site and are able to effectively go from beginning to end when it comes to enrolling than was the case in October and in November. Significant improvements have been made, and the vast majority of users, we believe, are able to use the website and have it function effectively for them. That does not mean, and we never said it would mean, that there would be no problems moving forward. That there would never be an error message or a delayed response for a page to load. That’s certainly not the case with even the most high functioning commercial websites of complexity and size."
