ObamaCare Website Wasn't Tested Until a Week Before Deployment

Hahahahaha.

We should start calling Obama's White House the Alpha-Test Administration.

No we shouldn't. That's dumb.

I got nothin'.

In other ObamaFAIL news:

A design firm, not wishing to be associated with failure, removes all references to its work on ObamaCare.

Tech experts say it needs at least a three-week shut down so that the massive problems can be fixed.

Trust the government, folks:

The federal health care exchange was built using 10-year-old technology that 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 application could be fundamentally flawed," said Jeff Kim, president of CDNetworks, a content-delivery network. "They may be using 1990s technology in 2.0 world."

Recent changes have made the exchanges easier to use, but they still require clearing the computer's cache several times, stopping a pop-up blocker, talking to people via Web chat who suggest waiting until the server is not busy, opening links in new windows and clicking on every available possibility on a page in the hopes of not receiving an error message. With those changes, it took one hour to navigate the HealthCare.gov enrollment process Wednesday.

Those steps shouldn't be necessary, experts said.

...

"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."

And:

So there's that.
