A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. The inverse proposition also appears to be true: A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be made to work. You have to start over, beginning with a working simple system. --John Gall
We can also bank on the fact that the blame will continue to be directed toward Bush, Cruz, the Tea party, bitter clingers, etc - basically anyone but the real problem...
Just like government’s attempts to manage other complex systems: banking/finance, human welfare, the space program (often thought of as a success, but instead a massive failure and misallocation of capital that helped people to believe not in America, but big government programs).
I hope it continues to fail miserably
I feel like a Jew in Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe who has been told the trains are not working....
Who is John Gall?

FYI: for ease of use, the Obamacare website has now been dubbed:

I have posted Gall’s Law on several threads. His work on systems (The Systems Bible, 3rd edition of Systemantics) is a must read for anybody that does IT work or is involved in project management.
As we will soon see, complicated systems produce unexpected outcomes.

This is amazingly well put, take a bow sir.
There ought to be some way to shove this up Ubama's exit orifice, and that of state-controlled media.
“Obamaware” - nice. Let’s make it viral!
Other than being government and wanting to spend new money, they would have been better off taking the online Medicare/Medicare Advantage program and modifying it. It works.
The Medicare/Medicare Advantage website provides for county and state variations in the Medicare program, and it has been active, with annual modifications, for at least half-a-decade.

MSM = Mendacious State Media
Corollary to Galls Theorem - A complex government system that does not work is usually based on a simple private system that works.
Eg. Welfare. Private Charities take $100,000 and spend over $80,000 to $90,000 of it helping people to improve their lives and get training and jobs...
Government took over and for $100,000 it keeps $70,000 for itself and uses $30,000 to pay people to do nothing.
With the total failure of the sign up process imagine the same ineptitude when the system is running and supposed to be providing health insurance coverage for most of the country. Who in their right mind would trust their healthcare to these clowns?
It seems to me that there is another entity that takes every good thing and perverts, twists, and destroys it...
[Church Lady] Could it be... :)
Of course, they can call. Obama even explained in his spiel yesterday how to pick up the phone and dial the numbers.

[Typical libthink solution, except that the automated answering service redirects people to ... {drum roll} the healthcare.gov website — which is still broken.]
