Washington ( CNN ) -- With just days to go until a self-imposed deadline , fixes to the problem-plagued Obamacare website are `` definitely on track , '' Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said Tuesday . In a conference call with state and local officials , Sebelius added that `` this is n't a magic 'turn on the on switch ' '' to fix HealthCare.gov , but a continual process in which `` the experience is vastly improved each and every day . '' `` We are definitely on track to have a significantly different user experience by the end of this month -- that was our commitment -- than people experienced on October 1 '' when the enrollment website launched , she said . `` We 've added hardware , we 've added software ; we 're continuing to work on the parts of the website that were too confusing to people , '' Sebelius continued , urging the officials `` to not hesitate to recommend that people go to HealthCare.gov and get signed up because that experience is currently working much better and it will continue to work much better .

Cancellation notices to some private policy holders -- a tiny percentage compared to the overall number of Americans who get their coverage through their employers or government programs such as Medicare and Medicaid -- fueled the Republican charges . In response , Obama said insurers can choose to continue offering canceled policies , even if they failed to meet new requirements under the health care reforms . At the same time , he defended the overall goal of Obamacare to make make affordable health coverage available to millions of previously uninsured or under-insured Americans . On Tuesday , Obama repeated his criticism of Republicans who seek to dismantle the reforms instead of working with the White House and Democrats to fix any problems and build on them . `` We 'd be a lot further along if we could just get folks to act with some sense , if we did n't have one wing of one party that was a little less obsessed with repealing health care for 40 million people , more concerned with making sure the law works , '' he said in remarks during a visit to the Dreamworks Studio in California .
