BETHESDA, Md., Oct. 28 (UPI) -- The Affordable Care Act Marketplace website could not be accessed online Sunday due to a failure in a private contractor's server, U.S. health officials said.
Joanne Peters, a spokeswoman for the Department of Health and Human Services, said visitors to the Marketplace were unable to access the website because the contractor running the data hub experienced a "failure in the networking component that brought down network connectivity to the site," Politico reported.
