We recently found out that the incredibly effective ObamaCare exchange website is – well, not exactly state-of-the-art.The federal health care exchange was built using 10-year-old technologythat may require constant fixes and updates for the next six months and the eventual overhaul of the entire system, technology experts told USA TODAY.
The site could be perfect, but if the systems from which it draws data are not up to speed, it doesn’t matter, said John Engates, chief technology officer at Rackspace, a cloud computer service provider.
“It is a core problem in the sense of it’s fundamental to this thing actually working, but it’s not necessarily a problem that the people who wrote HealthCare.gov can get to,” Engates said. “Even if they had a perfect system, it still won’t work.”

The Obamacare website is a quintessential example of government process and technological prowess. (And reflects the effectiveness of the $80 billion a year they so prudently spend on IT.)

All for a law We the People have never liked or wanted. Which is in the process of destroying not just private health insurance sector – but the entire private sector.
But this is what government does. To paraphrase Sir Ernest John Pickstone Benn, “Government is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”
Government’s motto should be; When in doubt, don’t.
