They complain about modules not being efficient in storing some data for quick retrieval. But this inefficiency is common for first release. Checking identities of users to create accounts doesn't work right. Simple to solve, I am sure. The problem more likely will be security issues, who gets access to user data; hardly a software problem. This thing works about right for version one beta release.

Information technology experts who examined the healthcare.gov website at the request of The Wall Street Journal said the site appeared to be built on a sloppy software foundation. Such a hastily constructed website may not have been able to withstand the online demand last week, they said.
Engineers at Web-hosting company Media Temple Inc. found a glut of stray software code that served no purpose they could identify.
