Three insurance companies confirmed Thursday that they have enrolled customers through the federal online marketplace created by the health law, but the numbers were meager and signup frustration continued for many people.
“This is not solely a traffic issue,” said Dan Mendelson, CEO of consultant Avalere Health. “There are more underlying issues that have to be resolved.”
“This is not a glitch. A glitch is a minor problem,” said Robert Laszewski, a consultant and former insurance executive. “The real story is that the Obamacare computer systems simply are not working.

So like they didn’t bother to test out the software before going on-line with it? Huh?
Well after development, testing, and deployment, you know, after all that has been accomplished, you can always go back and re-visit the DESIGN. Fixing that will be easy, right?
On the Mn site there is a field to enter your telephone number. You had to type in EXACTLY the area code, surrounded by parentheses, then three digits, a dash, then the last four digits. If you missed any of this the whole form was reset and you had to start over from scratch.
Was it SAP?
Seriously, looks like no testing and no stress testing was done.
“Give us 3 more years and $10B and we’ll have most of the bugs worked out.”
SAP is a CRM.
Seriously though, SAP is a large “customer relationship management” package. It can be complex to setup.
I’ve been in systems networking for 25 years. The idea that this is a glitch is laughable. This is an epic disaster. And to think they three years and billions of dollars to build it. Talk about incompetence.
Hmmm... Looks like the Project Orca programmers did find employment after last year’s election.
Yesterday someone posted a link go GitHub where the source code is supposedly posted.
Did Barrycade hire foreigners to design the websites? Hubby’s experience is that foreigners have no clue how things work globally and tend to create more glitches than they fix.
Exactly. John MacAfee said earlier this system will be a hacker’s dream. So many moving parts, so many interfaces. 3 years since the law passed but I wonder when development actually began, not to mention the thousands of changes along the way. whew..
Your tax dollars putting H1B Visa holders to work.
I read McAfee article and just wait until thousands of people have their identity stolen though a fake Obamacare site or hackers steal information via a poorly designed website with huge security issues...
Enrollment will drop even faster...
You are such the humorist. This is postmodern software. Design is so retro. It’s the deconstruction that really matters.
Sure. They always blame the software first.
It was built on an open source lamp framework that is not suited to this scale of project.
You can download the software at github
I bet they hired @Devops_Borat.
