We've to implement this software before we can debug it!

And where will Obama get the additional funds?
Will he ask the DOJ to extort (I mean retrieve) the money paid to CGI? If he can get 13 Billion from JP Morgan...........
Government has been hiring the best and brightest for decades now. Is that why things are so messed up?
I’ve often wondered why there aren’t any Texas A&M, U of MI or U of Chicago law school graduates on the Supreme Court.
Great movie. (Glad someone “got it”)
We need to send in a Spec Forces Tiger Team to clean out the nest. Some suggest nuking it from orbit as being the only way to be sure.
With any software system, there "should be" ample documentation to describe the system, its requirements, design, security, etc. I say "should be," because documentation is usually only as good as the sponsor or project leader demands it to be. If expectations of quality and maintainability are high, the quality of the documentation should also be high.
If the system is half-assed, or there are no expectations for quality, or no one is checking up on documentation, it should be readily apparent.
If I was on the House Committee investigating this failure, I would tell Sebelius to bring all the HealthCare.gov documentation.
My point is, reading through, and understanding a well-documented system can take several months alone. They can't just expect a team to come to Washington for a week, tweak a few lines of code, and then be on their way.

You mean the nest where all the software bugs live and breed ? LOL
Oh...another outsourced company they can’t subpoena! How convenient.
1) A demanding, focused, flexible, professional approach to technical design and SW development -- whether the approach is strictly "Agile" or not -- such as that used by Apple or Google (to name just two) would greatly benefit the US government which really has a lot of trouble with technology. The feds suceed in building advanced systems ONLY because they throw vast resources at problems until they eventually work (or not). Private industry tends to be more efficient by several orders of magnitude.
2) The government will not allow any movement in this direction. They know better. They've been doing it a certain way for the past 40 years. You didn't fill out form 7613-b. And this needs to be authorized by 5 levels of management above your head before you can even think about starting. And oh by the way, we just changed the requirements. Again.
It’s clear they hired canada’s worst and dullest to build the thing initially. proven track record of massive fail on nationwide system.
which makes me believe besides having big donors involved in the company, the whole effort was designed to fail.
So there’d be a crisis to push people into single payer right away “for their sake, so they aren’t without insurance”. An “insurance katrina/sandy” so to speak.
They aren’t dumb, they knew this company sucked and failed at a large nationwide database type project. to the extent they repealed the law up there.
I believe this is exactly what obama wants. so he can push single payer.
think about it a while. it’s all been talk. they knew what they did pass, all brought around single payer ultimately. how it would affect private companies. some have gone out of business already anticipating obamacare. they’ve screwed up doctors and hospitals prior to it actually being implemented.
the effects to help bring about single payer have occurred without them having the law actually implmenet anything.
they never were going to design a working (well and correct) website. they designed it to only handle 50,000 people a day nationwide - impossible to get 16 million people covered by their deadline without penalties. it’s all on purpose. it’s another crisis to exploit with a radical and fast solution and doing a runaround on congress.
it’s yet another crisis in the crisis smorgasbord. They have always wanted single payer. obamacare shrunk the number of players and shrunk out those that wouldn’t play along.
many of those left won’t mind being rolled into a single payer system, being “patriotic” and becoming part of the government health system.
It’s not a far cry. They’ve nationalized medicine, to nationalize the medical insurers under the umbrella of “single payer” isn’t a stretch. Look at what he’s all done and say it’s a stretch.
He’s always wanted single payer. the obamacare emerging debacle/crisis will allow him to get it. Because “something MUST be done” for all the poor people without insurance now. People will DIE if we don’t do SOMETHING. Mark my words.
Any conservative on the coding team should sacrifice his career and code bugs and viruses all over the system.
Sabotage it!
That gummi looks like it rolled around the bathroom floor awhile.
Also, if it isn’t tested (and this one obviously was not) it isn’t documented. Documentation is the low man on the totem pole.
BTW, I’m a Lead Business Systems Analyst. Some of our work involves documenting legacy systems that have been working well for a while without it.
i.e. I’d like to see them ask Sebelius to bring the documentation just to see the position she fell in when she fainted.
RE: It’s clear they hired canada’s worst and dullest to build the thing initially. proven track record of massive fail on nationwide system.
I think they hired the Canadian company for one important reason — THEY ARE USED TO BUILDING A SINGLE PAYER SYSTEM.
You could almost infer..... that the insurance industry wants no part of zerocare. If they did, they would have written the code and it would have worked.
American Healthcare getting punked by some Canadian idiots... was it planned that way?
