I have to believe that any project you were part of had mostly competent programmers and specs that weren't totally insane and in perpetual flux. I do not believe either condition holds for healthcare.gov. Recall how many government IT projects have gone on for years, cost $100s of millions (or >10 times their original budget), and been scrapped in the end as unusable.

The roll outs are usually brutal - but everyone I was involved in was fixed - as will these. Agreed that new "roll outs" can be brutal. Have you ever been involved in a GOVERNMENT roll out that cost $684 Million? I have faith in the private sector making corrective adjustments but not the Obama administration. The country would be better off if they NEVER make their { }bamacare program work.
