HealthCare.Gov Needs Five Million Code Lines Rewritten By Andrew Johnson October 21, 2013 9:13 AM Comments 42
Obamacare’s online exchanges have been riddled with problems since they came online three weeks ago, and those issues may continue for at least the next few weeks. Contractors said fixing the problems by the November 1 deadline set by the administration would be “unrealistic,” according to the New York Times.
From the sluggish websites to garbled enrollment information, the flaws require the extensive rewriting of code: “One specialist said that as many as five million lines of software code may need to be rewritten before the Web site runs properly,” the Times reports — that’s out of a total of approximately 500 million lines of code, according to another expert.
Others experts warned that some of the website’s problem are yet to come. One technical specialist involved in the repair effort said, “The account creation and registration problems are masking the problems that will happen later.”

5 MLOCS....hmmmm. They’ve actually only been at this since March of 2013 since the government overseers finally pulled the last bit of requirements and conditions out of their collective asses.
5 MLOCS since March. I submit the programmers were either on Ganja, or they stole the majority of the code they slapped together.

Wally’s dream job. Any attempt to fix the 5 million lines will certainly break the other xxx million lines. So why even start?

Fer Godsakes, they can't architect a system as a set of subsystems, each separately developed and tested, with well-defined interfaces?

I think they just don’t want people to see the real issues relating to Obamacare until well after the 2014 elections. Maybe the 2016 elections.

They gave him blank checks and unlimited funds.

It was never to be but, at some point the Administration will realize the gift that the GOP was giving the Democrats by giving them another year to get this thing working.

that explains the cost... they got paid a dollar per line of code.
I can easily turn a one line c# statement into 10 or 20 lines

“The account creation and registration problems are masking the problems that will happen later.”
Yep...like taking 2 hours to fill out an application, then finding out two weeks later that it's gone and being prompted to start all over again.

My guess is two years and a trillion dollars to fix...

No, what Obama Care needs to work is the DNA codes of basic human nature to be re-written.

Throw lots more code writers at it, fast! That’ll fix it!
It’s just as effective as putting nine women in a room to get a baby in one month, or so I’m told.
Who has nine months to wait? We need it NOW!
