Absolutely false.

Almost (not more than) half a million people have submitted applications, and the actual enrollments have been almost totally Medicaid, which do not involve the billing end of the system. The numbers that have signed up for exchange plans are minuscule.

And the worst of websites can handle this kind of traffic over a three or four week period. In terms of traffic the healthcare.gov site ranks far into the thousands.

Z,
More than half a million people have signed up for the exchange through the website.

If he doesn't get fired, that's a private business not firing him. Not the government.
If she were working on a for-profit project, she would have been fired, albeit with a generous severance package.
