"I promise you this cannot be fixed without at least scrapping the front-end processing, which is more than half of the systems," he said. "Seriously, if it were me and I were running this and I had been asleep in a hospital for two years and woke up to this mess, I would say OK, throw it out and start over. But start over in the right way."
HealthCare.gov wasn't too ambitious an idea...but the government has overpaid for it.
"It's not that it's an ambitious program — it's that it's an ambitious program considering the hallways that people have to march down in order to implement, and these hallways are the way you have to do things in the government, that are defined in these massive books of regulation or rules that you have to adhere to in order to compete in a government contract,"
McAfee was scornful of CGI Federal...
"It sounds a little bit absurd,"... "The Canadians are not well known for being high technologists compared to the Americans."
"You know we have a number of high-technology companies here in America," he said. "You know Silicon Valley has nothing but such entities that are competent, efficient and certainly more experienced than the Canadian companies...And so it would seem very strange for an American government to seek outside help in developing a complex system. And yet that's what they did. I don't know why, but it's bizarre."
"If you Google CGI, you'll find that they were in serious trouble with the Canadian government with health-care systems that were not delivered on time and were nonfunctional. So you would have thought that someone would have looked at that past history and said, 'I don't think that we can go with them.' I mean, I wouldn't have chosen them."

Even a crooked half-cocked hippie developer like McAfee can see what’s wrong, and everything he said is dead on
If an American company had written the code, we'd have another wickileak type scandal and some poor bastard would end up dead or in prison.
I love how NBC refers to McAffee as ‘ex-fugitive’. Why not refer to Obama as ‘ex-crack dealer’
CGI, the Canadian company whose U.S. subsidiary built the failed Obamacare website, was once contracted to build a federal gun registry for the Canadian government, Breitbart News has learned http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/10/22/Obamacare-Tech-Firm-Built-Canadian-Gun-Registry
Follow the money, you twit.
Secrecy was more important than function. You can’t let the dumb Democrat base know just how badly they were being screwed until it’s too late. Whole legislative careers can be built on fixing Obamacare.
I'll bet it has something to do with campaign contributions. Anyway, it would be interesting to hear Jay “Carnival” Carney's answer.
“I don’t think that we can go with them.’ I mean, I wouldn’t have chosen them.”
Bombshell: Federal judge suddenly green-lights lawsuit that could stop Obamacare in its tracks....
it’s going down!

Are the Democrats taking issues with [GASP!] someone’s checkered past?
Will they now apply the same scrutiny and validity-to-critique standards to BJ or Bammy?
And the Canadian gun registry is one of the many large s/w projects that are listed as examples of failures of large s/w projects now.
Who got the 634 million dollars?
high profile silicon valley loose cannon nerd alert.
someone in the msm needs to demonize this guy again stat.
(will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?)
And I bet at least half of the tech he's ever used was designed in Canada.
This could be an Agenda 21/UN/NAU project where health care is made uniform in all 3 countries as one, to include gun registry.
Doctors asking about gun ownership is about to go into overdrive.
Why not make it easy for everyone and have the NSA do it..
Maybe because it's harder for Darrell Issa to bring Canadians before Congressional oversight committees.
MacAfee will just shoot critics....like that guy in Belize. The guy MacAfee is accused of shooting owned the former Tailgaters Restaurant at the Univ of Central Florida. Needless to say...it went under after its owner was mowed down
Can you say KICK BACKS?????
