The Obamacare data hub that routes applicant information to websites run by the federal government and 14 states resumed service after failing yesterday.
The data hub center, operated by Verizon Communications Inc.’s Terremark unit, lost connectivity after workers tried to replace a broken networking component. As of 7 a.m. today New York time, the hub was “fully operational,” according to an e-mailed statement from Joanne Peters, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Health and Human Services Department.
