Tech experts say the Obama administration faces a daunting challenge in trying to fix the troubled ObamaCare enrollment website by the end of November.

Trying to fix a complex website once it’s already online is like liking trying to repair a car while it's driving 50 miles per hour, one observer said. “You can probably make corrections in the code, but if they needed months to test the process before, I don't see how you can say that you're going to be able to have it up and running in a couple weeks,” said Jon Wu, an analyst and co-founder of consumer finance site Value Penguin. The Administration said it would have the site fixed by Nov. 30.
