Analysis: IT Experts Question Architecture Of Obamacare Website

Reuters) - Days after the launch of the federal government's Obamacare website, millions of Americans looking for information on new health insurance plans were still locked out of the system even though its designers scrambled to add capacity.

Government officials blame the persistent glitches on an overwhelming crush of users - 8.6 million unique visitors by Friday - trying to visit the HealthCare.gov website this week.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which oversaw development of the site, declined to make any of its IT experts available for interviews. CGI Group Inc, the Canadian contractor that built HealthCare.gov, is "declining to comment at this time," said spokeswoman Linda Odorisio.

Five outside technology experts interviewed by Reuters, however, say they believe flaws in system architecture, not traffic alone, contributed to the problems.

This is what happens when you outsource IT coding to ... wait for it ... Canadians ...

They've been waiting to get back at us ever since the release of Canadian Bacon ...

BTW: The suppositions in this article were confirmed over the weekend.

It was probably designed by the same pinheaded, liberal “architects” who designed ObamaCare. Both are lemons.

My theory is that a lot of jokers are logging on with various combinations of Obama's

Names

Social security numbers

birth date /location

Addresses....

and the system crashes..../snicker

HealthCare.gov is to websites what Ishtar is to movies.

Uh-oh.....it's in Reuters, which means the sheeples are gonna find out. Perhaps they'll just shrug and believe that Lord Obama will 'deem' it fixed.

THANK YOU LORD JESUS IDIOTS PROGRAMMED OBAMACARE WEBSITES!!!!

Thanks you so much. Let the “wise” keep showing us their wisdom. They are so much smarter and better than us Lord. Just keep them showing us how much smarter and better they are.

They are fools who believe they are wise. Thank you Lord, for allowing them to screw up so badly. Keep them screwing up badly Lord, let their fixes make things even worse.

The system downloads about 95 files to your computer when you hit the “submit” button.

the bandwidth requirements and the download requirements kill it.

Would love to see the IT backstory on this. Most of those who originally set it up probably have already taken the money and ran. Anticipating security horror stories in the near future about the system but feel the system is as secure as a Playschool toy and major breaches have already happened. Only saving grace is that there are so few signed up it wouldn't be worth a hacker's time at this moment.

“Would love to see the IT backstory on this. Most of those who originally set it up probably have already taken the money and ran. “

Our state health care exchange in CO consumed over $100,000,000 and were asking for more. Lotta pork to be ladled out there. And a lotta R’s were holding the ladles.

What the hell are “unique visitors”? Leave it to a British fop to write ridiculous crap like that.

The visitors are Obama supporters, low educated minorities, druggies, freeloaders, people forced to the exchanges because Obamacare wiped out their private doctors and insurance companies, and the curious.

Unique? No!. Just a microcosm of Obama supporters and victims of The Messiah’s godly plan for all human life.

“Unique visitors” is a common way of saying ‘hits from different IP addresses.’ It’s computer speak.
