The Health and Human Services website experienced glitches on Thursday morning following weeks of absent health communication from the federal government.
People trying to access the site www.hhs.gov received a “site can’t be reached” or a “server cannot be found” message. A website that tracks whether other pages are experiencing server or access issues, Down For Everyone Or Just Me, marked the government page as down as of 9:35 a.m. New York time.
