Healthcare.gov is far more complex than a repo, which is why I care more about the process. The data integration process is/was staggering, with 55 contractors/agencies involved (according to the NYT). That screams trouble all over it, especially with government contractor reflexes.
Was this achievable in the given time? If so, what was the plan to get there? If not, how should it have been managed?
