JAY CARNEY: I think having not designed advertising campaigns myself, I’m not an expert but I think that, you know, people, there are efforts underway to reach potential consumers.

And we certainly believe that there has been — I mean, one fact is in spite of, we know, it was being noted that the effort, the advertising efforts and the like had been pushed back because of the problems with Healthcare.gov. And one of the facts I think often went unnoticed is that even despite that we still have extraordinary levels of interest demonstrated by the number of visits to the website itself and that continues. We continue to see, I think, something like half a million over the weekend of visitors to Healthcare.gov. The demand is there and it is our responsibility to make sure that the system works so that the demand can be met.
