Does anyone suspect that the Affordabe Care Act site has been sabotaged?

You are right. Something is way off about the site going down when people are trying to enroll. The Obamacare site has been working fine for over a year until people tried to enroll. I dont know if it is a programming problem, a server problem, or something very sinister. I have thought of the same thing. The Republicans have the money to pay a hacker a lot to do something like that. Well, the states that have their own exchanges are not having problems but I think that is because the states are dealing only with their own residents, far fewer numbers than are trying to use the healthcare.gov site.

No conspiracy here. The IT group working on the federal website did not test enough. The state websites like Kentucky, California and New York did not have the same level of the problems. In fact, the Kentucky website is very well run.

Republicans have forgotten the glitches during the rollout of Medicare, Part D.

I considered that for a moment. I believe that the risk of getting caught sabotaging the ACA website would deter even the most unscrupulous Republicans from taking such an action. Trojan horses, denial of service and/or other problems can be detected. If anything it would have been some web programmers paid to write bad code.

As I've said, there's probably a budget that has to be spent - or possibly wasted in order to get a larger maintained budget.

I am positive that there is a functional code for the website on a USB on somebody's desk, and it has probably been there for a year and a half, waiting for the right moment to be installed.

Anytime you have a major rollout of a new program there will be problems. Why do you think Microsoft and all others always have updates coming out on their programs. It is next to impossible to get such a large program to work totally right.

The "red states" have only one way to sign-up and that's with a broken website. The other states already had their own websites for people to sign-up. Since it is a federal government project they took up making a central website and it's failed miserably.

At least that's my understanding.

Many Dem's and talking heads already tried to go that route. Fortunately or unfortunately, the evidence doesn't support it. It all points to badly written code,platform, testing, developmental, coordination, ETC. issues

No. The Obama regime made changes just days before the roll-out to deceive the public and hide the cost of coverage until after enrolment. And that's minor compared to the big lies that are now coming back to bite them.. http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/obama-administrat...

So let me get this straight - you actually would believe sabotage over the government running something inefficiently and ineffectively! ROTFLMAO. WOW!

It's possible, but I seriously doubt it. I think they just made the site in a hurry and majorly screwed it up.
