Wouldn't it be nice if the Website Can Never Be Saved?

Scrap the whole thing, dump the law, open the National Markets to Compete Nationwide without the State Commissions! m/r
“There’s no reason not to level with the public right now, unless the truth is so horrible and the website is so un-fixable that Obama administration officials can’t bring themselves to discuss the matter publicly.”

Can This Website Really Be Saved? | National Review Online

OCTOBER 28, 2013 By John Fund

Obama’s “tech surge” fixers say all will be well in five weeks, but IT experts are dubious. 

 So we now have a date. “We’re confident by the end of November, Healthcare.gov will be smooth for a vast majority of users,” Jeff Zients, the point man in charge of the “tech surge” the White House is unleashing to fix the site’s problems, told reporters last week. “The Healthcare.gov site is fixable. It will take a lot of work, and there are a lot of problems that need to be addressed.”
But the commitments might hinge on what the word “fixable” really means. It could mean that the final product will be a stripped-down version that won’t have the functionality promised of the original website. But, in the meantime, the mainstream media will probably be placated by White House assurances that the “best and brightest” in the IT sector are working on the project.
But who are these geniuses? HHS won’t say which individuals, aside from Zients, are part of the “tech surge.” It recalls the moment inRaiders of the Lost Ark when Indiana Jones and Brody ask Major Eaton about the fate of the ark.
