Quick question...Healthcare.gov can't rely on AWS or other cloud services, right? At some publicly owned companies, I've heard from dev friends who say that one of the reasons, bandied about by their IT people, that they can't move important things onto the cloud is because of regulatory reasons. I imagine such a mindset exists inside government, and much more so given that it is private health data that we are talking about.
Anyway, just throwing in some early conjecture before we get into the ok "if obama's campaign site was so great then why the fuck healthcare.gov??"
