The Obamacare website
It is fun to listen to all the discussions about it -- shows how utterly clueless most of the talking heads are about the basics of web design.
Here is the latest one from
The Hill:
CMS: 3.5 years not enough time to make HealthCare.gov work
Federal health officials said Thursday that three-and-a-half years was not enough time to assemble and fully test ObamaCare's online enrollment portal.
On a call with reporters, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) spokeswoman Julie Bataille said that a "compressed timeframe" precluded sufficient end-to-end testing of the sign-up system.
Emphasis mine. A government ninny would find 3+ years to be too short a time but a professional web development company could have the entire site banged out in eighteen months after delivery of specifications and it would be working perfectly. It also would have cost us the taxpayers less than five million dollars and not the
500 million that we paid for this crap.
I also love how people are saying that the existing website can be repaired. More like re-written. Everything I have seen of the code reeks pure incompetence.
