I see that an admin has unprotected this page. How come I have been able to edit it all along? Just curious. X Ottawahitech ( talk) 20:42, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

In the lede it states:
I'm not sure how the state exchanges are "largely error free", when you look at these recent news reports from the WSJ, WP, DailyKos, CBSNews, and NYT. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Does anyone object to adding in these facts? -- Cirrus Editor ( talk) 01:53, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
The word "security" appears once in the article, yet security risks are one (big) part of the overall problems with the Healthcare.gov website. See Jan 16, 2014 NBC News article on recent congressional hearing -- "Hackers: HealthCare.gov still riddled with potential security issues" [6]; a Nov. 2013 congressional hearing reported on by CBS News -- "Memo warned of "limitless" security risks for HealthCare.gov" [7]; and a Nov. 2013 article at Yahoo News "Some cyber security experts recommend shutting Obamacare site" [8]. I found these in 1 minute of searching Google. Any objections to adding in maybe a "Security" section to this article to follow the facts here? -- Cirrus Editor ( talk) 02:00, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
If feasible, it would be beneficial to include a more detailed section about specific problem areas and changes implemented since launch.
A few enrollment UI observations at a glance:
These sorts of glaring issues are important in understanding the problems faced by this website's deployment and there should be some relevant source material to be found. — C M B J 23:28, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
I stumbled across this really fine piece of journalism that describes the true story of what happened during the implementation of healthcare.gov. For whoever wants to take this on.

Should the " Web security" section be moved into the " Concerns about the website" section? Zeniff ( talk) 16:44, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
A source used cited four times in this article and for central claims is not a reliable source. It's citation #18, by John Xenakis: http://www.generationaldynamics.com/pg/ww2010.i.hcgov150823.htm Here's the website: http://www.generationaldynamics.com/pg/ww2010.about.htm . It's just some guy writing stuff using his own historical "methodology," not affiliated with a news organization or university or anything. Any claims in the Wikipedia page based on this source should be independently verified. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nettework ( talk • contribs) 16:10, 20 January 2016
The article doesnt cover the open source aspect of this website, both that parts of the site were open source, and that it used open source software like Jekyll (software).
Some of the source code was at https://github.com/CMSgov/healthcare.gov/ and https://github.com/CMSgov/HealthCare.gov-Open-Source-Release, which are now 404, and that repository also had open source issue management. Where is the code now? Where are those bug reports now? This was the cause of some press coverage at the time.

The only official-ish repo still in that organisation is https://github.com/CMSgov/HealthCare.gov-Styleguide , which includes a lot of the assets used, but isnt the real deal.
The repo was backed up to https://archive.org/details/healthcare-gov-gitrepo (now gone), and that was re-imported to Github as https://github.com/Conservatory/healthcare.gov-2013-10-01 . But it doesnt include the issues created by the public.
And there are many other copies available
And someone created a repo for the separate MarketPlace at https://github.com/STRML/Healthcare.gov-Marketplace , with some development occurring there. John Vandenberg ( chat) 00:13, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

Lots of things are written in the present tense, or as if s.t. happened last week. An example from the end of the article: "The House was scheduled to vote on it on January 10, 2014." It's been nearly a decade since that scheduled vote, and no update???! Mcswell ( talk) 19:10, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
