That's really cool. Do you know what tool was used to build that? I know a few clients that would love this.

To be fair, the CTO for Obama for America (Harper Reed) is one smart cookie. I have much respect. This is not your typical goverment waste. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harper_Reed

It would appear so! Why then is Verizon Enterprise Solutions getting called in to "save the day" with Healthcare.gov?

And this attitude is where burnout, dependency, and single points of failure come from. And also why we have so much power invested in the central executive.

Quick question...Healthcare.gov can't rely on AWS or other cloud services, right? At some publicly owned companies, I've heard from dev friends who say that one of the reasons, bandied about by their IT people, that they can't move important things onto the cloud is because of regulatory reasons. I imagine such a mindset exists inside government, and much more so given that it is private health data that we are talking about.

Anyway, just throwing in some early conjecture before we get into the ok "if obama's campaign site was so great then why the fuck healthcare.gov??"
