Headline about a deadline:
New 'deadline' for fixing Obamacare glitches seen in mid-November
I suppose it's in quotes because it's not really a deadline at all:
"The U.S. administration has a little over a month to fix the technology problems crippling its online health insurance marketplace, or jeopardize the goal of signing up millions of Americans in time for benefits under President Barack Obama's healthcare law, experts said on Thursday."
A deadline isn't a time when you "jeopardize the goal". A deadline is the time you no longer have any chance at the goal. That's why it's called a DEADline.
I don't think the "glitches" will be fixed by mid-November. They had 3.5 years and couldn't get it working. Was it that they just needed one more month? I doubt it. And - in certain ways it's harder to fix a system once it's gone live. But, I suppose there's little point in speculating. Let's wait and see.
Time will tell:
will it all work well -
or somehow continue
to hiccup like hell?

I am selflessly not contributing to the traffic problem.
A grateful government should be sending you a thank-you note soon!
