Running Obamacare through the Internet was always a bad idea

To someone not understanding how complex computer code can get, running Obamacare through the Internet likely seemed like a good idea to them. However, any programmer worth his or her salts would have said to start it another way and to eventually bring forth this computer program after the program was running right.

Here is why:
1. security concerns: How are you going to protect the private information of new users trying to get healthcare on a new and relatively untested and very complicated program?

2. Remember here you are dealing with the government which is known to keep changing and changing laws and Ideas. So, even though the program might have been well flowcharted at first, each new variable (legally) might crash the original program when you have to modify it. (In other words) to be properly flowcharted all information has to be known before you flowchart it long before you start writing code. Each new variable that comes in later might need the whole program to be re-written and possibly the original flowchart and program might need to be junked and to completely start over. This is just what it can be like in flowcharting and writing code in real time and in real life.
However, people who don't write or never have written code or flowcharted might not know this.

3. So, anyone with any experience flowcharting or writing code might have known this ahead of time but likely they were not asked this question by the right person in authority ever.

4. And if the Obamacare laws are modified or changed further by Congress this might trash the exiting Computer program running now and it might have to be rewritten completely once again.

5. So, I'm thinking trying to roll Obamacare out through the Internet, was a bad idea and is a bad idea at least until the Obamacare sets of laws settle down a bit because millions of people need this to work right for Obamacare to have a chance in being here 20 to 50 years from now.
