Tech official Henry Chao says 40% of work not done

[thereisnospoon]

The Obamacare website's top technical person, Henry Chao testified yesterday that 40% of the healthcare.gov site has not been built.
$700 million and three years to get this done.
We've paid for it. So where is the product? Less than 2/3rd's complete..
Brilliant.

Does this remark refer to both hardware and software?
It's a rather simple site so 60% of simple could be less than a week's worth.
Unfortunately, for a nation supposedly so technically savvy, few people really understand what's keeping this site from being able to handle the volume.

Make your life easier, go to your State's Health Care site.

Not all states have their own site....Michigan doesn't. It takes you directly to healthcare.gov.

Not the point.
The federal government has had ample time to get this done and get it right.
No one is asking for perfection. Just a working product. This thing is comparable to a car leaving the assembly line without essential parts so that it can be operated safely and efficiently.
In the real world, those responsible would have been fired from their jobs.

Most of the red states decided not to build one. They decided to do nothing for their uninsured. So their uninsured citizens are therefore forced to use the federal site.

Ironic, eh?

Somehow the red states believe it is better to have no web site at all and do nothing at all for the uninsured, and yet they have the audacity to take pot shots at those who are at least trying to make one for the people of their state so their people can get health insurance.

The issue ad writes itself.

Healthcare plan enrollment surges in some states after rocky rollout - latimes.com

By Noam N. Levey November 18, 2013

WASHINGTON — Despite the disastrous rollout of the federal government's healthcare website, enrollment is surging in many states as tens of thousands of consumers sign up for insurance plans made available by President Obama's health law.

A number of states that use their own systems, including California, are on track to hit enrollment targets for 2014 because of a sharp increase in November, according to state officials.

"What we are seeing is incredible momentum," said Peter Lee, director of Covered California, the nation's largest state insurance marketplace, which accounted for a third of all enrollments nationally in October. California — which enrolled about 31,000 people in health plans last month — nearly doubled that in the first two weeks of this month.

Several other states, including Connecticut and Kentucky, are outpacing their enrollment estimates, even as states that depend on the federal website lag far behind. In Minnesota, enrollment in the second half of October ran at triple the rate of the first half, officials said.

Washington state is also on track to easily exceed its October enrollment figure, officials said.

The total count as provided by the federal government is 106,000 PAYING enrollees. Just signing up but not taking the insurance does not count.
27,000 fully enrolled from healthcare.gov. The through state exchanges.
You're just defending Obamacare. That's all.

BTW...you are deliberately evading the issue.
The point is the federal website which to date has cost $700 million is just 60% complete.
Focus on that instead of making excuses.
"They are going to the state exchanges" doesn't cut any ice here.

Two things genius. One, 34 states have no site. All they have is healthcare.gov. Second, a simple site? The program has half a trillion lines of code. Oy vey.

Which tells you right there that the people who are writing the code are incompetent.

It isn't like the insurance companies don't already have software that taps into databases of information that then uses that information to calculate risk and cost.

If the law was written properly, access to the databases for the major carriers would be a requirement (after all, these companies stand to gain financially by this law) and then the back office can be created that makes use of what databases do best, Create, Read, Update, and Delete records.

Making use of the SQL for clients who sign up to calculate costs is then just a matter of plugging in information to a formulator.

Couple million lines of code in Java or C# tops.

The HTML, JavaScript, and CSS is 5,000 lines of code, tops (Provided they are smart enough to utilize templates.)

Democrats and big government know what's best for all of us....

All hail Obama!

 

[eagle1462010]

3.5 years and they can't build the site. That's a disgrace. Period.

Many companies build massive websites. They do it quicker, and for less money. But the Gov't can't do it with 3 times the money, and 5 times the time.

Typical

Yes!....There are so many holes( according to experts) in those sites, there is hardly a reason for them to be labeled as 'secure'...
