Obamacare Website

Few people who were FOR Obamacare have shifted their position due to ACA Website problems. Few people who OPPOSED Obamacare did so because they doubted the government could produce an effective website. If anything, the snakebit ACA demonstrated AGAIN the need for government to design an information age procurement system. THAT is what Congress should hold hearings on. The ACA Website reflects the industrial age procurement system that our government uses to buy software. Remember Moore's Law? Processing power doubles every 18 months. Between the time government drafts a bid announcement and the time it lets a contract, the information age has marched on -- leaving contractors scurrying to match leading edge capabilities to fulfill outdated contractual mandates.
