But just how many lines of code does it take to generate HealthCare.gov? This question came up on Reddit again last week and it appears that we may now have an answer. One commenter who claimed to have worked on HealthCare.gov as part of the post launch clean-up crew at the end of 2013, provided counts of the lines of code behind HealthCare.gov, broken down by programming/markup language."

Exactly. Should have just implemented Canada's Single Payer National Healthcare for 1/20th the cost.
The resulting health improvement in the US would have saved Trillions that we could have wasted in IraqIranAfghaniPakistan.
