Experts stunned at cost for Healthcare.gov website development
My FOX-TV DC ^ | October 22, 2013

“My overall sense, right from day one, was it was created by people who had never created a commercial database application before," said FMS Software developer Luke Chung.

Chung looked over the site and was stunned by the code and the cost - by some estimates, perhaps $200 million.

Chung continued, “At $200 an hour, that would be a million man hours, 5,000 man years. I don't think they had time to use 5,000 man years. So I don't know where the money went. I don't know what these people were doing. There're not that many web pages. I don't get it! Where'd the money go?"

God help anyone who successfully got their contact info into this system. We all know people who tried to log on just to show what a bad system it was, or to get a quote. I’m betting they will be signed up for Obamacare against their wishes, and if they want to cancel they will have to do so online.

” The Program was written by “seasoned Obama political campaign IT operatives.”

You mean Obama’s political operatives like these 2 ?


That’s them!

On a more positive note, if one types in the correct set of commands to the ObamaCare web Site, Palestinian Liberation Organization members in the Gaza Strip can simultaneously sign up for health care, cast their vote for the 2014 election and send an untraceable campaign donation in the name of Daffy Duck using a disposable credit card.

That feature works perfectly at this very moment!

Who says the system is not working as intended.

“Congress really needs to investigate just where all that money really went. “

I’m sorry - what good has any Congressional investigation done in the past 5 years?

In a sane world (or if a Republican were president) that’s exactly what the media would be calling for. Instead, the questions will never even be asked.

This is the same mindset as leftards who plan to build high speed rail in CA or a $54 million dollar-per-mile trolley car system in Minneapolis.

No gubmint program is ever a failure, it’s just ‘underfunded’.

Or the past 50? Congress is a toothless tiger.

Final total will likely be around 1.2 billion.

This is criminal. It needs a prosecutor assigned. There’s no way this system should have cost 1/20th this cost. Who got the money?

Imagine having to face disagreement.

That's something that few of us experience every minute of the day...

\ Money laundering. Obama's got a nice new house in Hawaii to pay for.

I agree. Don’t know all the software they used, but I read that they were using at least some open source, so no cost for that. Also read on another thread this a.m. that they’re using Google Chrome as the web browser (and asst’d other Google apps) - great for PII collection.

So I don't know where the money went.

You obviously are not familiar with the term 'racketeering'.
