Well yeah, but they literally stole from the Canadians. There was an article awhile back about the (Canadian-equivalent?) RIAA making compilation albums and saying "we'll pay you guys later" and then never doing so.
There's no substitute for a hard copy (well, a copy I have on a device where *I* control the bits), even if only to retain it if they stop serving it up.
But be sure that mostly they do not "want it to work when you present it to them" and they do not want me to "do my work right". They want it to "sort of work". Yesterday. Under the budget. They don't care how well the code is structured because they can't "sell" that to a customer and they don't get to maintain it 10 years down the road. You don't get to put that in a marketing presentation.
I think that pretty accurately sums it up. It's kind of a problem nobody has come up with a real solution to yet, eh? I mean, yeah, Agile, but that has its detractors, too.
How is that secure?! We've already established the assumption they're tapping and recording everything, so they just trace back from the first encrypted communication you make until they find the call where you exchanged the password.
Your plan sounds excellent up until the point where the final company is chosen and, with 9 years ahead of them without competition, immediately starts sliding.
Yeah, neither of these "simple" things sound simple at all. I've seen "Apollo 13" (the movie) and their controls looked about as complicated as a 747's, i.e., VERY. Hell, just the fact that they had 11 missions before we landed on the moon says something, doesn't it?
And rolling out a website to interface with pretty much all medical insurance systems across the nation can in no way possibly be simple either. Methinks whoever came up with this article is neither an engineer nor a programmer.
Gee, maybe if we stopped busting down the doors of people (who are often not even doing whatever it is) with fully-loaded SWAT teams in the middle of the night, they wouldn't be quite so jumpy and ready to fire back.
So your plan is the legal system? And while that gets batted around for the next X months to years, what, just transmit everything in the clear and say 'oh well'?
Well, except for the part where you said nothing about anything but still belonged to one of the 17 non-approved demographics e.g. Jews, gypsies, gays,... um... insufficiently loyal Nazi party members...
And then there was the season opener when Wi-Fi started killing people. God that one still hurts...I could tell literally 15 seconds into the episode that it was going to be horrible.

Burden of proof that it's not rational.
You saying "this is not rational" does not make it so.
'USA EPDIFFSLMEA'? That will never do!
(mumble mumble caps filter)
Anyone who votes for what they believe to be evil, even if they think it's a 'lesser evil,' is a moron of the highest caliber.
More like a pragmatist, until any third party becomes viable. (Which believe me, I'm waiting for.)
They do what they do because they think it's the right thing.
I try really hard to apply this to people in general. Sometimes it's difficult.
Ignorance is bliss.

What about it didn't make sense? It's entertainment for chrissake!

It's simpler because it doesn't work. At all.

They specifically said there was no orange plug on the barrel.

You forgot the rest of the Eastern European Warsaw Bloc.
So we'll just go in with a geared-up SWAT team and say 'we think he had a gun', right? After all, grenades are now weapons of mass destruction.
I think this sounds like a better solution. I'd rather trust in money winning out than the justice system actually doing what's right, personally.
No no, Chaos is our friend! It's the forces of Order that are bothering us :)

What's wrong with the headline?

No.
Not to mention that we're on Doctor #11...
