1M LoC for the health care website? We counting copy-paste lines?
Try again, that was 500 Million LoC according to the infographic.
really only 15M:

There's the problem. Should have hired more database people. Stupid fucking Java devs.

That's only for the front end, admin is probably almost as big and the structures to connect to vendors are probably bloated nightmares. 500 mil is unlikely, but 15 mil seems way too efficient for government work.

500M is ungodly. More than 10x the worst Windows estimates I hear. That shit took DECADES to get that bloated. No way you get that much in that short of a time unless it's artificially generated to be ... I don't know, code that compiles but does nothing significant.
Even 15M is a fucking tremendous amount. I'd believe up to 5M. Oh yeah. FUCK JAVA. But holy goat fuck, if inefficient bureaucracy ever had a poster boy of a language...

I can think of a way, and one that is right up government's alley: duplication. Not 500 mil lines independently written, but rather smaller - but still large and bloated - pieces that do certain processes that are then copied repeatedly into various places where needed instead of being called as a function. For example if they developed 2 mil lines of code to allow their system to talk to the particular system of some big insurance company, and then copy that entire block 100 times for the other 100 companies and make small changes to customize each one as needed and now it's 200 mil lines of code.
That's what the government coders I've worked with in the past would do. Drives me batty.
