What, assuming it isn't flat-out corruption or nepotism, motivates someone to hire people like this into important positions they flat-out know nothing about The people doing the hiring aren't experts at much of anything besides being bureaucrats or above them, elected officials. They aren't the best of the best in the healthcare or IT fields because of some kind of competition or consistent vetting process. The really funny thing is that the only reason anyone notices the staggering magnitude of the incompetence is because it's a web site that obviously doesn't work. Meanwhile behind the scenes are all kinds of protocols that don't really work to implement a healthcare system that is extremely poorly designed and will likely be poorly implemented. Unfortunately when the rest of it doesn't work, voters will operate in ignorance while politicians blame each other for the failures and inevitably more and more money will be thrown at the problem so that someone can try to look good and get re-elected.
