A New York Times investigative article based on two dozen interviews with industry insiders and confidential Obama Administration documents reveals that the catastrophic $500 million Obamacare rollout "has deeply embarrassed the White House" and has the technology companies involved "publicly distancing themselves" from the Obamacare fiasco.
"These are not glitches. The extent of the problems is pretty enormous," an insurance executive who participated in Obamacare conference calls told the Times. "At the end of our calls, people say, 'It's awful, just awful.'"

Given that its collapse embarrassed the White Hut, are we to conclude that Obamacare is racist?
Not a glitch............
............it’s a FEATURE! IT’S INTENTIONAL!
Why do you post a garbage cartoon like that? That is right out of the liberal wingnut playbook.
This part isn’t intentional. Obama needs to hook people into the system as quickly and efficiently as possible, before the ramifications are known.
Guess what? Thanks to the collapse of healthcare.gov the ramifications are becoming known BEFORE the people can get hooked in.
I’ve worked in IT systems development for almost 20 years. Mostly on the business/management analysis and requirement management side. If what’s being said about the underlying architecture being fubar, it’s at least an 18 month fix. Probably more like 24 months. Minimum. Especially given US Government procurement regs.
Embarrassed?! I don’t think so. The TOTUS has had a daily opportunity to be embarrassed and he hasn’t been yet. Zero’s most uttered 3 phrases...”Pull up the jet, I’m going on vaca”. “I won”. “Fore”.
leftists are not capable of feeling shame
that is a human emotion
That is their plan.
If I worked on Obamacare as an IT consultant, should I put it in my resume under ‘Significant Accomplishments”? Maybe I won’t put it in the resume at all and leave that ‘dead time’ as spending quality time with my family.
-——confidential Obama Administration documents——
How did the confidential documents get into the hands of Old Gray Whore reporters?
Why were the documents leaked? Are the insiders already covering their asses? If so, that makes it really really bad at this early date.
Then there is the word embarrassed. I would think perhaps there is a stronger word, perhaps fearful or maybe panicked. The political apparatchiks most certainly have feelings of intense dread. The problem is out of their hands and being apparatchiks they have no technical knowledge to develop a remedy beyond putting forth the word glitches.
They must in their atheist state begin to pray it will not last. That is their only hope to produce the desperately needed change.
The crisis wasn’t supposed to happen this quickly.
Conservatives and Republicans, need to quickly capitalize on healthcare.gov’s collapse.
Everything Clown Prince nobama and his Clown Car Administration does is intentional. In this instance if the “healthcare” system is successful, they win by having a socialist “healthcare” system. If it fails, they have a marxist single-payer system. Win win for the commies. The only saving grace for Free Americans is that if the delay and confusion is great enough and long enough, some patriotic leaders MIGHT emerge and stop this rush to communism.
Sorry, that was the point. I guess I could have posted with. /s
COMMUNISTS ARE NEVER EMBARRASSED. This is just a step in the strategy to SINGLE PAYER HEALTH CARE, i.e., SOCIALISM.
............it’s a FEATURE! IT’S INTENTIONAL!
Agreed.
Impossible.
People who are without a conscience cannot be embarrassed.
Sorry, I don’t give them that much credit for being that smart.
Not embarrassed enough to delay or pull the horrific program. That is all that counts.
The second 90% of software development is always the hardest.
Unless Democrats manage to corrupt statewide elections as well as they have the national ones, the people will NEVER trust Democrats with Health Care again.
Unless Democrats manage to corrupt statewide elections as well as they have the national ones, the people will NEVER trust Democrats with Health Care again.
How can it not fail when everything 0bama, Reid, and Pelosi touch are tainted with deceit, destruction, and death?
These people aren’t idiots. They’re evil. Period.
BINGO.
This is the repeal and replace moment.
MAYBE IT WAS INTENTIONAL. But not in the way you, and others on this and other forums, suggest. Maybe it was ‘sabotage’ by the IT companies ‘ employees. They wrote the code, purposefully to be unuseable.............................
Lets hear it for ‘sabotage’ if that is what happened.
Bravo Sierra. Obama is incapable of embarrassment. How can a guy who thinks he’s superior to everyone else on the planet ever be embarrassed about anything?
My thought exactly. Obama's response will be another campaign style speech chock full of lies telling us everything we are hearing and seeing is not true. Bagdad Bob will be envious..
What IDIOT didn't see this coming...
scene: Ivy League Elites around $20,000 walnut conference table:
“It's time to overhaul our unfair healthcare system. Healthcare is a RIGHT. Insurance companies SUCK!”
“Let's have our staffers flesh out the details.”
Staffers cobble together their wet dream wish list of Utopian/Socialist/Cradle-to-Grave HealthCare Ideas.
Staffers: “Pass this down to the department heads and have them oversee implementation.”
Department Heads: “Look at this mess they want us to implement! 1000’s of pages! I'll pass this down to my Jr Department heads and have them implement it. In the meantime, I think I'll take my retirement option. I've got a nice offer for a lobbying job.”
Jr Department Heads, “Find some I.T. people who are LOYAL to us. This is going to be a nice big fat contract setting up the website, etc. Let's put the money where it will do us some good.”
I.T. Exec's: They want us to do what?!? Impossible!!! They will pay how much? Hey...we can only do our best. If it doesn't work the first time we'll just keep trying...as long as they keep paying.
Epilogue: The only thing the Federal Government does well, is take care of itself. The bigger the Government the smaller the citizen.
Nope...you just have to conclude that the outcome was as expected for any Affirmative Action situation where there wasn’t any real experience of ability to start with.
Give me 10 million dollars, 3 high level coders, 3 high level DBA’s, yourself and a infrastructure guru, throw in a spacious office with a ping pong table, soda machine and unlimited access to pizza and Chinese food and I will have the system fixed within 12 months.
And whatever is saved, we split the balance of funds as bonus.
Going Agile baby.
The government doesn’t do Agile. It takes Agile terminogy and applies it to Waterfall to make it seem like it’s doing Agile. Call it Agilefall.
And I say this as a CSM (Cert through Scrum Alliance)
But even if you’re right (and serious .. I detect just a hint of sarcasm in your comment) a 12 month implementation cycle, even one using concurrent sprints. Lots and lots of concurrent sprints) isn’t going to fuxthe system fast enough to avoid significant political damage to Obama and the Dems.
LOL! I like the guy on the right in the pink pants who is liking what he sees. Would only be better if it was a drawing of Barney Frank.
Also have my CSM through Scrum Alliance. Working on my ACP.
From a technology standpoint I think this could be simplified. But since Obama doesn’t want the system fixed, the project would probably never complete.
The exchange system is a fail. The code for the parallel single payer system, however, works perfectly. After all, they hired the Canadian single payer contractors to build it.
And the Repubs want to offer to repeal the medical device tax. Heck no, let the pain be felt and the crap be smelled for month after month.
I'll answer my own question. It's because after the reaction to Snowden showed Obama to be a petty whiney name-calling brat, England voted down Obama's War to support AlQaida in Syria, and Putin has shown Obama to be totally ineptitude on the world stage, Obama can't just go in the corner and cry. So he bullies US citizens and our constitution, daring us to not back down. To that I answer: Britain didn't, Putin didn't, and I'll be really disgusted if the HOR does.
Obamacare fiasco only the sane saw it coming.
