This is about ObamaCare's massive technology failure.

This article demonstrates how easy it is for Google
and it's users to setup a website with 1 million
requests per second, sustained, under 10 minutes,
and under $10 (USD) to it's users:

http://googlecloudplatform.blogspot.ca/2013/11/compute-engine-load-balancing-hits-1-million-requests-per-second.html

1) "... was able to demonstrate how to scale a cloud
application deployment within 5 seconds after the
setup, without pre-warming, enabling Google Cloud
customers to serve 1 million requests per second
and sustain that level for an indefinite period of
time."

2) " ... took a total of 7 minutes and 30 seconds."

3) "This entire setup and test cost just $10 USD!"

It takes me longer to eat than it takes them to setup
a commercial grade cloud application.

Now, compare that to the ObamaCare website.  It's expected
to crash again this holiday weekend because 200,000 users
are expected sign up but the website can only handle 50,000.
Yes, you read that correctly...

Cost of the ObamaCare website?  Half a billion dollars (USD)
and climbing.  It seems I was wrong about Obama.  He is
doing something to spur the U.S. economy.  It's just a
question of which economy...  I wonder how much of that was
diverted into illegal arms and drugs?  How much went untaxed
into offshore accounts?  There is no way on Earth that more
than one percent that money made it into the website.  Maybe,
they should scrap the website, give that link to a High School
student, from a high ranking H.S., who has good grades, who is
in a computer club and pay him two hundred bucks to create
a new website... Fifteen minutes later, before his lunch hour
is over, we'd have a new website.  That would shave two to
five billion dollars off our taxes and healthcare.  Some of
that non-spent money could be spent to pay for the DOJ and
FBI to investigate where exactly and to what criminals all
that money went.
