The disastrous debut of Healthcare.gov
美国医保网站“灾难性”上线
Where to begin? The glitches, the website crashes, the dismally low enrollment numbers. It's hard to see the Oct. 1 launch of Obamacare and its virtual face, Healthcare.gov, as anything but a disaster. In the much-awaited initiative's first month, the site was offline more than it was online. Notably, the contractors the government hired for the enormous project, including Canadian outfit CGI Federal, have emerged relatively unscathed.
从那里说起呢?故障频频、网站崩溃、极少的注册人数。无论从哪个角度来看,10月1日推出的奥巴马医改计划及其网站Healthcare.gov的上线只能用“灾难”这个词来形容。这个公众期待已久的网站在上线后的一个月里大部分时间都处于离线状态。尤其是,政府为这个重大项目所聘请的承包商,包括加拿大CGI Federal公司等,却几乎没有受到太大影响。
