Zip file at the bottom of the page...

This one looks more related to www.getinsured.com than the obamacare. I accuse you of the Title is misleading and to get more karma :).

Putting it together with dangrossman's link to https://github.com/CMSgov/healthcare.gov, could be a private site written using some gov.* code from GitHub.

cms.gov is medicare back-end, not sure if this is an extension of that or part of the original

The Healthcare.gov Github repo does live under the CMS.gov account (https://github.com/CMSgov/healthcare.gov).

(Edit: No, this isn't the marketplace code, but the fact that they share a Github account is some evidence the marketplace could be reusing/extending CMS.gov code).

That's only the static information and FAQ site, not the marketplace.

From the readme:

>This project does not include any source code for the Federal Health Insurance Marketplace (the online systems located under www.healthcare.gov/marketplace.

Damn! It figures boring insurance code would be written in rock solid tried and true technology that hipster kids dislike!

C# has all of those listed features, yet is still usually considered at least okay by hipsters. :)

Why not? Twitter, Facebook, Google, and Amazon all use a lot of Java. It's come a long way since when Microsoft shipped rollover buttons via Java applets in MS FrontPage.
