Politico reports: Tech experts wary of more Obamacare "glitches"

See here. Among the quotes:

    The glitch-plagued Obamacare rollout might be just the beginning: A series of potential technology problems could thwart the Obama administration’s goal of getting 7 million people enrolled in the new exchanges by the end of March. ... Washington and Lee University School of Law professor Tim Jost, a staunch Obamacare backer and a consumer advocate at the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, said the rollout has been “very disappointing.”

But, as I wrote in an earlier post, the "glitches" are the least of Obamacare's worries. If the government can't even get the software for the website running bug-free, then how well can they have designed the overall business logic of the system?

The Obama Administration is quickly going to be forced to acknowledge that the problems with the system are more than mere "glitches." VC Wannabe Barack Obama will be revealed to know as much about software systems as he does about renewable energy (remember Solyndra).

BTW: Within a couple of weeks, as the system quickly grinds to a halt, the proposal to delay/defund Obamacare will make more and more sense and people like Ted Cruz will be seen to have made a prescient and savvy bet against Obamacare.
