Cavuto Enlists ‘Geeks’ To Help White House Fix ObamaCare Website

‘I would kill the turkey’

CAVUTO: “So, so then I got to be clear here. This sounds like you would try to spruce up a turkey. Do you just kill the turkey and start with a new one? Start from scratch? What would you do?”
MAGID: “I would kill the turkey in this case. You build the foundation of a building to make the foundation stable. The foundation here are wrong. It needs to be revisited, the load-balancing the servers, the capacity of the user-interface, you have to go through the focus groups and see what went wrong. And just before they launched this website, a proper QA process was not done. You can see it in the flow. I went to the website about two weeks ago. The response time for the loadpage -- the first one to sign up for the application was about six or seven seconds. They fixed it a little bit. It’s about four or five seconds. But you need more than that. Just putting a phone number for someone to call is not the answer.”
