No problem with Oracle. It's your DB structure and the code you use to access it.

The thing about Oracle has more to do with Oregon. When they went to Health Plan website, Oregon had Oracle build their database. After getting it open 4 months late (they were taking orders by hand during that time) they turned it live on line and in short, it didn't work.
Oracle said "well that's your problem, you owe us $74 million and we're not going to do any additional work, or help you with it; we built your database so we're done". That's why when there are database problems anywhere those in the area and profession say it's an Oracle DB.

Famous old computer statement ...... GIGO . . . or garbage in garbage out.
If you give developers crappy requirements you will get a crappy product.
If you don't know what you want or need, don't expect someone to provide what you want.
Add to that the complexity of designing a web site that lets a dummy select a health care plan and it ain't easy.

As posted on Yahoo Finance:

NEW YORK (AP) -- Pep Boys will be acquired by Carl Icahn for $1 billion, ending a weeks-long bidding war with the Japanese tire company Bridgestone.

The deal is expected to close in the first quarter of next year.

Icahn Enterprises offered $18.50 in cash for each share of Pep Boys on Tuesday, $1.50 more per share than the most recent offer from Bridgestone. With the contest becoming too rich, Bridgestone bowed a few hours later. Because Pep Boys had already agreed to a deal with Bridgestone Corp., Icahn Enterprises will pay a $39.5 million break-up fee.
