Oh, sure – I just suspect that project has been in death-march mode for the last few years. I'd be shocked if the initial launch & stability rush wasn't immediately followed by “now that that's done, we have this backlog of postponed requirements…”
I don't see anyone excusing it – only discounting the supposition that it was intentional.
The only reason this is particularly newsworthy is that it's a .gov service connected to a contentious political issue – I mean, my health insurance company uses the same DoubleClick tracking service and I doubt I could even get a reporter to call me back if I tried to peddle some conspiracy theory about it.

Would it excuse it if it were, say, not HealthCare.gov but rather some private company's website?
(probably not)
