There is a lot of identity and income verification and price calculations across many different databases. It apparently wasn't doing well in testing either but the administration wanted to stick to their hard release date instead of delaying it. I've seen this sort of issue with other massive complex IT projects. The links to the many private companies is usually what bungles things since they often have their own unique stuff to deal with.


The insurance companies have reported errors in submissions and having to call up the customer to check. Those problems seem legit from what I've seen in similar projects that don't have enemies opposing them.


Any interference from GOP groups is probably from them sending too much fake traffic through the front end like a denial of service attack. I doubt they are capable of doing more serious back end stuff without having people on the inside involved.
