Obamacare Website Unrealistic

According to MIT anyway.

Even MIT comments have no use for Obamacare.

Can't say this is coming from "brainwashed Faux News Tea Baggers" right?

"...You could put 100 Google engineers on it, and it’s not going to fix [the fact] that the scope of the project is flawed or fix the IRS system if it’s slow,” says John Halamka, chief information officer of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. “You don’t want to query 10 downstream systems and be reliant on their performance, because you are only going to be as good as the slowest one...”

"...On September 26, President Obama hinted of no problems and compared healthcare.gov to popular e-commerce sites. “Now, this is real simple,” he said. “It’s a website where you can compare and purchase affordable health insurance plans side by side the same way you shop for a plane ticket on Kayak, same way you shop for a TV on Amazon. You just go on, and you start looking, and here are all the options.”

But beyond the president’s cluelessness about the looming problems, his analogy fails because on both Amazon and Kayak, you can dive in and start shopping without the website first having to query numerous federal databases. E-commerce sites also are willing to postpone certain details. For example, Amazon will immediately send you an e-mail to confirm your purchase and then later send you one with a UPS tracking number, after it’s made the link to a UPS database.

In contrast, the federal site took on complications that would befuddle even the best technologists. “The scope of ‘we will provide all the functionality for 34 states, and linkage to 1,000 insurance companies, and an online real-time marketplace’ was probably too big to accomplish given the time available,” Halamka says.

But.

Even Apple has glitches.

Breaking up with Obamacare.

“I don’t even know how to feel about the whole thing anymore because I can’t even get anyone who has an answer to help,” she says. “It’s just such a lost cause at this point.”

The article is from the Kaiser Health. In the thread, the commenters rip to shreds this insane notion that Obamacare's failure is some sort of right-wing conspiracy.

I think it's best to apply Occam's Razor here and just conclude Obamacare was a faulty law pushed through with no GOP and little public support while being executed by a bunch of incompetent bureaucrats.
