DANA POINT, Steve Irons: It should not be too surprising that the Obama care
website is encountering problems. Recent history has shown that government bureaucrats are inept when tackling technology.
One example includes Great Britain's National Health Service attempt to create the world's largest civilian computer system linking all parts of the NHS only to abandon the project after spending
11.4 billion pounds ($18.3 billion). The project was beset by changing specifications, technical challenges and clashes with suppliers that left the project years behind schedule and way over cost. Sound familiar?
Closer to home, last year, after spending
$135 million and seven years, the California Department of Motor Vehicles dumped its effort to overhaul the state's 40-year-old computer system that processes driver's licenses and vehicle registrations.
In 2012, after doling out $500 million, the California Court system pulled the plug on the effort to electronically connect every courthouse in the state when the
costs ballooned to $2 billion.
Finally, the project to upgrade California's payroll system was canceled because it was years behind schedule, the cost was triple the original $400 million estimate and it didn't work.
No I don't think we have perfected it.On the contrary I think guys like you need a serious reality check.You are living in a fools paradise.Another pathetic attempt to label India
