Brennan good evening, scott is off tonight, im margaret brennan. While most americans were eating thanksgiving dinner or shopping, a team of technicians was working nearly around the clock to fix the obamacare web site, healthcare. Gov the administration had hoped that 1. 2 million americans would be signed up for Health Insurance by now but only about 106,000 have done so according to the latest numbers the government released at the beginning of this month. The white house has pledged that by november 30 the system will be working smoothly for the vast majority of users. It will happen . Sharyl attkisson takes a look. Reporter just hours before healthcare. Govs fixes are due, nobody can say how well theyll work not even john engates, one of a half dozen outside it experts offered a private briefing at the white house this week. If i had to place a bet i would certainly say im betting theyre going to get it done theres no way for sure to know. Rep recent days, hundreds of technicians have implemented hardware upgrades, code fixes and two Major Software overhauls. An official affiliated with the project says its now meeting targets with pages responding within a half second of a click and users getting errors less than 1 of the time. That official said the key challenge this weekend is when theres more demand will it perform . Will it hold up . Im sure everyone is biting on their fingernails. Thats why the white house is urging people not to flood the web site right away. It can now handle 50,000 concurrent customers. Consider that the Internet Communications firm skype says its handled 50 million at once. The administration isnt expected to release enroll. Numbers until midmonth, making it difficult to know how well the promised fixes work. By the end of this month it will be functioning for the majority of people who are using it. Theyll be able to shop, see what their choices are. Reporter engates, whose company specializes in high capacity ecommerce says healthcare. Gov originally tacked transparency which is key in private industry. People were probably covering sort of their covering their butts to some extent to make sure that the bad news didnt make it all the way up the chain and they were hoping for the best. They were hoping that things would work out. Reporter the Administration Says theyll be able to handle 800,000 applicants in a day starting on sunday. It sounds like a lot, but they got nearly five million the day of the launch which explains why, margaret, theyre asking people not to flood the site all at once. Brennan sharyl, is there a plan now to prevent the web site from crashing . Reporter technicians have been working on a system that will make capacity better in the sense that if customers cant get on in a specific time, if healthcare. Gov is threatening to be overcapacity theyll be given space but come back at a later time. Brennan Sharyl Attkisson in washington. In addition to getting more americans to sign up for private insurance, the Health Care Overhaul will also get more people to sign up for medicaid. In california, medicaid applications have jumped by 135,000 since october 1 and the projection is for 1. 4 million new applications in 2014. Thats the most of any state. The problem is that there arent enough doctors to treat them. Ben tracy tells us what one medical school is doing about it. Reporter californias shortage of primary care doctors has left jennifer han in the unique position of starting medical school and not having to worry about the cost.

Richard olds is the dean. With money donated to the school, hes planning to offer five fullride scholarships to students who agree to stay in the area for five years after they graduate and choose primary care rather than the more lucrative specialty fields such as radiology and anesthesiology. 40 of the doctors in my Community Look like me. Theyre 55 years of age or older and they will retire in the next ten years. So the net result of that is we will probably have a 5,000 to 6,000 physician deficit in ten years no matter what anyone does. Reporter his school is located in californias inland empire where obamacare is expected to ensuring more than 300,000 people by next year. But the area already has a shortage of 3,000 doctors. Jennifer han plans to be a pediatrician. Primary care physicians ends up making somewhere around 200,000. Specialists can make twice that. How tempting is it to simply chase the money . That can be enticing in terms of paying back our medical school loans and stuff like that.

It also warned it would take military action if countries flew inside its knew air defense zone without first notifying the chinese government. The uninhabited islands are located near important shipping lanes and are said to have rich oil and gas reserves. The dispute has now mushroomed into a tense standoff with japan and its u. S.

Hong kong analyst david zweig says china may have miscalculated its latest bid for power. How do you enforce it. What are you going to do . Shoot somebody down if they dont report .

Brennan monday marks the 150th anniversary of the completion of the u. S. Capitol dome. It will soon be encased in scaffolding as part of a two year renovation. Scott pelley spent some time with the man overseeing the project for 60 minutes. Pelley Stephen Ayres holds the title architect of the capitol. This is all original . Its all 150 years old. Yes, it is. Pelley all of this was designed by ayres predecessor, thomas walter, who proposed a dome no one asked for. This is the capitol George Washington knew and its till the center of the Capitol Building today. Walter won a competition to expand the house and senate sides to hold all of the politicians coming in from the new states. But then walter thought the original dome looked too small. So he drew another. He posted it on the wall in his office and members of congress would often come by and see that and it just stuck immediately. Didnt even have a cost estimate, didnt know how they were going to construct it, how they were going to build it, how they were going to design it, yet it was so beautiful and so wonderful everyone just knew immediately that they had to do it. Pelley walter drafted it after the great marble domes hed seen in europe only to discover that the building couldnt support the weight. So he conjured an illusion. Everything every column, every ornament is cast iron painted to look like stone. The weight was cut in half. This is from 1863 and you can see its signed by thomas you stick walter. Pelley his drawing in the archive reveals there are two domes an inner dome with a ceiling painted with an apotheosis of George Washington ascending into heaven and the outer dome ascending into the sky. We are climbing atop this inner dome, the apotheosis of washington frescoed by constantino brumini. s right below us. Yes. Pelley were on top of that right now. Yes. And this is the level we go outside. Pelley this is the top. This is the top. Pelley wow what
