Take a look at the whole healthcare.gov effort and you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about...

This one sentence gave lie to all your others. :)

The enormity of the failure with healthcare.gov colored the perception for everyone forever. It was an abysmal failure, and in the real world the project would have gone belly-up outright. Only because this is government, does it survive.

Code quality matters.

It was a failure and it was well documented that it failed because the vendor and project managers cut major testing corners to meet dates.
