The 20 November 2013 edition of CBS This Morning stood out as the only Big Three morning show to spotlight Henry Chao's shocking revelation – that a significant portion of the I.T. infrastructure needed to support HealthCare.gov have yet to be built. Major Garrett reported that Chao "told Congress Tuesday the team making emergency repairs still has another major task to accomplish: building 30 percent to 40 percent of the web systems needed to make payments to insurance companies."

Garrett also featured the testimony of a panel of cyber-security experts who warned that the ObamaCare website remains vulnerable to hackers:

MAJOR GARRETT: There are also still questions about the privacy of consumer data on the site. Cyber-security experts said HealthCare.gov remains vulnerable to hackers.

DAVID KENNEDY, TRUSTEDSEC, LLC FOUNDER (from congressional hearing): There are critical flaws – there are critical exposures right now that are – that are currently on the website that hackers could use to extract sensitive information.

GARRETT: Republican Congressman Chris Collins of New York asked this basic question.

REP. CHRIS COLLINS, (R), NEW YORK (off-camera): Do any of you think the site will be secure on November 30?

UNIDENTIFIED MAN 1: No.

UNIDENTIFIED MAN 2: No.

UNIDENTIFIED MAN 3: No.

KENNEDY: No.
