Yep HealthCare.gov , but its by far not the only site to struggle. And hardware goes beyond cpu and includes things like hardware for the database, resilient fall-over, network bandwidth (ok, less of an issue these days) and so on. Sure, it takes more than -just- hardware, and yes sites can be more-or-less resource hungry. But ultimately "the server is offline" is not a good thing. Lots of things cluster when you don't expect it. Like sites to take bookings for national parks (as an example).
