Okay, cynic. Just kidding, I totally agree with your appraisal here. I think the real revelation, if you can call it that, is that there are certain sorts of projects that governments are inherently bad at. All you have to do is look at an indy project like: http://www.thehealthsherpa.com/ to realize that $600 million is not needed ot build a highly functional site.

On the flip side of that, I don't think HealthSherpa, or any small indy sites adhere to all the draconian government-mandated access requirements that an official blessed project does.
