Bada-zing! Twitchy has extensively reported on the error-filled and glitch-ridden Obamacare health insurance exchange websites, oh-so-fondly known as 404Care.
Let the word go out throughout the land: During a #Shutdown over the disastrous #404Care, the press asked not a single question about it

@AceofSpadesHQ @DrewMTips #404care is the best name for it ever.

Indeed.
Hawaii’s is a total joke and the federal site healthcare.gov is an utter embarrassment. It was summed up on Wednesday by Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s flummoxed face and with a fantastic graphic offered up by Sen. Ted Cruz.
Now come reports that the atrocious website comes at a cost of in excess of $600 $93.7 million. Yes, milllion.
Taxpayer price tag for the world's shittiest website: $634,320,919 http://t.co/ksW7320LnH

Along with being the worst built website in history, Healthcare.gov also appears to be the most expensive, and we get stuck with the bill. How lovely.
What? It cites a report from Digital Trends:
The exact cost to build Healthcare.gov, according to U.S. government records, appears to have been $634,320,919, which we paid to a company you probably never heard of: CGI Federal. The company originally won the contract back in 2011, but at that time, the cost was expected to run “up to” $93.7 million – still a chunk of change, but nothing near where it ended up.
Dude. It would be funny if it weren’t true. Instead, the shake fisty is strong with this one. Iowahawk and other Twitter users put it into painful perspective as only they can.
The Pentagon was built for $83M, or about $1.3B in 2012 dollars. Now it takes govt about half that to build a single f'ing website.

Snicker. As Twitchy reported, actress Olivia Wilde hilariously claimed it takes “ten minutes” to sign up for Obamacare. Bless her propagandist heart!

Welp, that’s pretty much game over right there! Except there is more glorious snark.

Gasping for breath!
And Iowahawk brings it all home with a suggestion for Obama-worshipping Hollyweird:
