A simple `find . -name '*.js' | xargs wc -l` on the marketplace repository at https://github.com/STRML/Healthcare.gov-Marketplace reads about 72K LOC. About half of that is vendor scripts, such as jQuery.

The 500M figure is quite obviously nonsense. Even if one adds the source of every tool involved, including the browsers used to display the site, it would be difficult to get to 500M. For example, Chrome is ~5M LOC, depending on comments/version.
