Leararn a lot about the bottom of the worlrld by racacing to the southth polele on foot. Thaul and mucuch cbs this morning saturday, november 30th, 2013. Captioning funded by cbs and welcome to the weekend. We also have some great guesting for you here in studio 57 including a rising star. Singer songwriter diane burch whos here with music from her new album. And hes not italian but chef keith coming up. We begin with president obama and his struggling health care plan. Today is the day he promised to have the website running smoothly for americans seeking Affordable Health care insurance. Two months after its launch, how is it going . Jeff pegues is at the white house. Good morning, jeff. Reporter good morning, vinita and anthony. They say its all part of a planned maintenance session. The administration reached their selfimposed deadline overnight after announcing late friday that there would be what they call performance maintenance throughout the weekend. For extended periods of time users would not be able to complete enrollment. But the team charged with fixing the website believes its working better now and will be able to handle at least 50,000 people at one time and 800,000 during one day. But there is still uncertainty about whether it will hold up. An official fill yated with the project tells cbs news im sure everyone is biting on their fingernails. Nearly two months into the troubled rollout the president s Approval Rating has hit a record low. Gallop reportup gallup reports were tied. In an interview with barbara walters, president obama said he isnt too worried. The good thing about doubt is usually you have nowhere else to go but up. Reporter hes optimistic they will succeed. Every president in their second term is mindful, you know, youve about got a limited amount of time left and you want to make sure youre squeezing every last ounce of energy you have to try to deliver on the commitments you made to the american people. Reporter later this morning its expected to end and although the administration believes that the website will be performing better they do ask people not slug the website all at once. Jeff pegues at the white house. Thanks, jeff. Joining us is cbs news political director John Dickerson who joins us from the washington bureau. Good morning. Good morning. Officials say its not a relaunch. Its not a magical date. What exactly can we expect today . Well, i think thats right. Thing they want to keep expectations very very very low. What we can expect is more people being able to sign up getting from the very beginning of the process all the way through to the end in picking a plan but we really arent going to see any real indication if things are mump mump better probably well into next week when there are, if its working lots of stories of people being able to move through this smoothly or if its not working more of these Horror Stories that weve become accustomed to. John, if the website is fixed, does that mean that the system is essentially fixed . No. Thats the crucial distinction. The administration has said that the vast majority of the users will be able to use the website after this fix is made but the websites only part of the issue here. What needs to happen once youve picked a plan is that information has to get translateder of the the Insurance Companies and thats where a big problem has cropped up. And basically what happens is either the Insurance Company get bad information, duplicate information or sometimes there are these things called orphan records where somebodys picked the plan but no information gets to the Insurance Company. Thats a crucial step. The website can be fixed but the system may not be fixed, and so thats something were going to be looking at very closely in the coming weeks. Weve been witness to so many bumps along the way and the day before thanksgiving there was a quiet bump. We quietly heard that the lawn f. Date for Small Businesses could be delayed by a full year. What else could go wrong at this point . There are many things that could go wrong, seems to grow and is unexpected. This is one the administration knew was an issue so they decided to kick the can down the road on that the same way they did near the fourth of july when they basically extended the employer mandate for a year. That was for companies with over 50 employees who had to buy those employees insurance. They said lets put off that mandate for a year. The next one of the next Big Questions will be a political one. The president promised in selling the plan if you liked your doctor, youd be able to keep it. The way some Insurance Companies are working, theyre limiting some of the ak stoes the doctors. Thats something the president is going have to deal with. It doesnt have do with the website but the implementation of the underlying program and there will be some debate on whether those limitations are part of what the Insurance Companies are doing or a result of this law. It will be politically charged, though, because people like their doctors and that will be an area of some political tension. John how much longer do you think they have to get this working or at least the problems behind him before it becomes a significant political problem next year . I sthink its going to be a political problem for the elections next year. I think what the president needs and democrats need are two things. One, they need lots and lots of stories of people signing up. There are still lots of people signing up and people getting on medicaid. There are some good stories is. What they need to do now is match the signups with the states in the federal system. Then the president can say all of the people who were shut out of the system before who were worried and anxious about their Health Care Coverage they no longer have to worry, and thats a good thing in their lives. If he starts talking more about that that could push down some of the bad story. This was a law that was meant to disrupt the insurance system and those disruptions are just going to cause some issues going forward. Thats sort of the way the law was intended. Handling those issues being able to meet peoples fears as they have them, that will be a political challenge for the democrat and precedents in the next year. John dickerson. John will be sitting in for Bob Schieffer tomorrow on face the nation. His guests will be president obama will reveal his new Security Strategy next year.
