People have jumped on this as deliberate sabotage, but do we know any specifics? Has the team changed since 2016?

Sunday is the best day for HealthCare.gov to go down for maintenance. Only 1-2% of your traffic through-out the week is done on Sunday for any healthcare. Plus the system has trouble scaling when Obama was in office. So planned down time seems reasonable to flatten data and process files to and from the Exchanges.

Wow. This is so petty. They might hate it but I thought they would at least try to replace it and not hurt those that are using it. Shutting it down to reduce enrollment is beyond evil.

Pity that HN doesn't have the stomach for certain tech stories, rather than actually moderating content.

I don't know which is harder to swallow, this administration's overt hatred of the American people as a whole, or the fact that the people it is hurting the most are its most fervent supporters.

it wouldn't surprise many if a FOIA analysis were to discover that this scheduled downtime were to coincide with the peak usage time for prior enrollments

I don&#x27;t care if heathcare.gov goes down. Heath will just have to be on his own.<p>If healthcare.gov goes down, though...

What&#x27;s the team now behind HealthCare.gov? Sadly last I looked up the ?? team only hires citizen &#x2F; green card holder.

I don&#x27;t know if it is related, but a certain three letter agency we do business with is having an IT freeze from 9&#x2F;21 to 10&#x2F;3 which means no changes of any kind to any production system. In over 10 years this is the first I&#x27;ve seen something like it.
