(Bloomberg) — Rollout of the U.S. health care overhaul is facing mounting delays as a key computer service that failed Sunday remained dormant, three days after the Obama administration said its insurance exchange website would be working smoothly in about a month.
The data services hub that supplies tax information to websites run by the federal government and 14 states to sell medical coverage, was unavailable following a malfunction at the hosting center. The center, operated by Verizon Communications unit Terremark, lost connectivity after workers tried to replace a broken networking component, said Joanne Peters, a spokeswoman for the Health and Human Services Department.
