The system relied upon being maintained. It is not being maintained. Heck, if you don't fill the tank on a car, pretty soon it will stop running. That's not a design flaw, that's a maintenance problem. Obama implored them a few years ago to maintain it while he was even on duty. They refused. He did what he could, but without him, the system will fall into disarray.
