Surely more money will fix the problem.

Must have hired the same guys who wrote Romney’s Orca Application.

Company with $1.2 billion Obamacare contract under investigation for ‘serious fraud’

Maybe Obama could hire Jimrob when he gets out of the hospital.

NAAAAH.

I heard that the canadian IT firm that is responsible for O-care is the same firm responsible for the now infamous (and failed) Canadian gun registry. Why am I not suprised?

Just remember one thing: Obamacare is designed to fail. It is the half-assed compromise measure that is supposed to whet the appetites of the lazy and stupid, so that they demand something more—like single payer socialist health care.

Drudge Report content is nothing more than a Web Page with referral links, some light graphics and a few ads. Simply speaking, not hard to serve up 45 million hits a day from perhaps 2 or 3 load balanced servers on a medium sized internet pipe.

That is VASTLY DIFFERENT from a website that is taking input and accessing back end databases, matching up information, etc..

Comparing the two is truly comparing apples and oranges.

Now, if you want to simply belittle the Federal Government for not being able to put up a website given their limitless access to money (our tax dollars) then by all means go for it!

You can build a free website that works better with online software. If you like it you can get more bells and whistles and more bandwidth for a low subscription fee.

I wonder how they load tested it before deployment. I wonder what the real number of users per second and total connections they were actually prepared to handle.

It’s a miracle they haven’t thought of blaming this on the shutdown yet.

[Lazamataz]

Well.... listen, I don't think this is a fair comparison. ObamaCalamity Websites were unveiled to high-traffic in a one-shot opening, whereas Drudge evolved to that level of traffic. In computers, that sort of time -- years, in Drudge's case -- matters.

That said, Obama's team should have KNOWN what to expect and STRESS-TESTED to twice the expected level, or at LEAST throttle incoming attempts. Goddamn, *I* could have architected a solution, and I'm lame.

[justa-hairyape]

They said the website was sending and receiving massive amounts of unnecessary data back and forth between itself and users’ computers. The IT experts attributed this to bad programming,....

Yeah right. More like a whole bunch of NSA snooping going on lol.

[ShasheMac]

I’m just glad I’m not the guy who has to wear Obama’s pj’s.

This is probably the highest level of efficiency you’ll ever see from obamacare.
