By Sun-Times staff

The glitches keep coming for the Affordable Care Act. Not only did Healthcare.gov go down this morning, but the countdown clock on the White House homepage was showing people they had 15 days left to sign up — even though today is the deadline.

The Wall Street Journal reports that at about 9 a.m., the clock was showing 15 days, instead of 15 hours. A coding glitch knocked the hours one column over into days.

It appears the issue has been resolved. For now.
