Obamacare and Middle-Wheel-Wheelbarrows

davecb writes "The Obamacare sign-up site was a classic example of managers saying 'not invented here' and doing everything wrong, as described in Poul-Henning Kamp's Center Wheel for Success, at ACM Queue." It's not just a knock on the health-care finance site, though: "We are quick to dismiss these types of failures as politicians asking for the wrong systems and incompetent and/or greedy companies being happy to oblige. While that may be part of the explanation, it is hardly sufficient. ... [New technologies] allow us to make much bigger projects, but the actual success/failure rate seems to be pretty much the same."

Sounds like Republicans are getting worried Obamacare might be end up working and want to change the name...I mean imagine of Social Security was called Rooseveltcare? This attempt to debrand Obama from Obamacare tells me the right is scared that Obamacare is going to be well liked in the end!
