It's already way too complicated. Throwing more bodies at it will only make it worse.

Too big to fail is too big to work.

Apparently, they are also using one of the very top IT firms in the UK, Reynholm Industries.

RE :”Anyone who has been part of a federal project that involves technical work performed by contractors has got to be shaking his head today at the vision of outsiders swooping into a massive project and fixing complex mistakes. The attempt to integrate new people with very high opinions of their own technical prowess into this mind-numbingly complicated undertaking will involve a lot of unpleasant meetings that waste the time of people who should be working on the site, the endeavor will be severely hamstrung by the basic character of federal contracting work (in which the four corners of the contract are everything and rules matter more than goals), and it will all only delay the inevitable end game — which is that the contractors who screwed this up will need to be the people who unscrew it, they will do it slowly and clumsily, and they will get paid handsomely by the taxpayer for the additional work. “

They call them Tiger Teams.
Standard Federal government disaster fire drill.
They will be busy a while.

Too bad they cant hide it and procecute whistleblowers as they did here

Will they be the same crowd of irresponsible and stupid geeks who hand out US national security secrets like popcorn?

He has not a clue. And he is demonstrating it with every move on this calamity.

Explanation:
When a project goes south, you can’t just bring in new, “smart” blood to fix it and think it’s gonna be fine.
This whole thing is almost like a much ballyhoo’d manned Mars launch that crashed and burned on the platform because of many and diverse systemic failures. You don’t bring in an “extra special smart” team of guys and try it again in a few weeks.

It will take years.

"The Best and the Brightest: Obama to Hire Special Teams of IT Experts to Fix Healthcare.gov..."

.... Now here's a thought ...... Why didn't Skippy consider hiring them to build the site in the first place instead of throwing 600 million taxpayer dollars at a failed foreign company with a record of incompetence?

So, does this mean they didn’t have the best and brightest develop it? Hmm, that’s such a surprise (not).

Government has been hiring the best and brightest for decades now. Is that why things are so messed up?

I’ve often wondered why there aren’t any Texas A&M, U of MI or U of Chicago law school graduates on the Supreme Court.

I will make two statements, based on a fair amount of life experience on both sides of this fence:

1) A demanding, focused, flexible, professional approach to technical design and SW development -- whether the approach is strictly "Agile" or not -- such as that used by Apple or Google (to name just two) would greatly benefit the US government which really has a lot of trouble with technology. The feds suceed in building advanced systems ONLY because they throw vast resources at problems until they eventually work (or not). Private industry tends to be more efficient by several orders of magnitude.

2) The government will not allow any movement in this direction. They know better. They've been doing it a certain way for the past 40 years. You didn't fill out form 7613-b. And this needs to be authorized by 5 levels of management above your head before you can even think about starting. And oh by the way, we just changed the requirements. Again.

It’s clear they hired canada’s worst and dullest to build the thing initially. proven track record of massive fail on nationwide system.

which makes me believe besides having big donors involved in the company, the whole effort was designed to fail.

So there’d be a crisis to push people into single payer right away “for their sake, so they aren’t without insurance”. An “insurance katrina/sandy” so to speak.

They aren’t dumb, they knew this company sucked and failed at a large nationwide database type project. to the extent they repealed the law up there.

I believe this is exactly what obama wants. so he can push single payer.

think about it a while. it’s all been talk. they knew what they did pass, all brought around single payer ultimately. how it would affect private companies. some have gone out of business already anticipating obamacare. they’ve screwed up doctors and hospitals prior to it actually being implemented.

the effects to help bring about single payer have occurred without them having the law actually implmenet anything.

they never were going to design a working (well and correct) website. they designed it to only handle 50,000 people a day nationwide - impossible to get 16 million people covered by their deadline without penalties. it’s all on purpose. it’s another crisis to exploit with a radical and fast solution and doing a runaround on congress.

it’s yet another crisis in the crisis smorgasbord. They have always wanted single payer. obamacare shrunk the number of players and shrunk out those that wouldn’t play along.

many of those left won’t mind being rolled into a single payer system, being “patriotic” and becoming part of the government health system.

It’s not a far cry. They’ve nationalized medicine, to nationalize the medical insurers under the umbrella of “single payer” isn’t a stretch. Look at what he’s all done and say it’s a stretch.

He’s always wanted single payer. the obamacare emerging debacle/crisis will allow him to get it. Because “something MUST be done” for all the poor people without insurance now. People will DIE if we don’t do SOMETHING. Mark my words.

Any conservative on the coding team should sacrifice his career and code bugs and viruses all over the system.

Sabotage it!
