We can blame the programmers, but who is ultimately responsible. The Whitehouse is the executive branch; they are paid to execute and ultimately this is entirely their responsibility. They are the project managers of this entire mess. Now imagine those same people deciding your medical treatment. It's just sheer incompetence disguised as politics. Of course a more subversive view would suggest that this was engineered in order to pave the way for single payer. The Soviets built better cars than the US government builds websites.
