White House to ditch builder of HealthCare.gov
« on: January 10, 2014, 03:42:19 PM »
The Obama administration will replace CGI Federal, its main IT contractor for the glitch-prone HealthCare.gov.

"CGI and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) have mutually agreed to complete work on CGI's contract for the Federally-Facilitated Marketplace (FFM), in line with the previously-scheduled February 2014 contract end date," Linda F. Odorisio, CGI's vice president of global communications, said in a statement Friday to CNBC.

Earlier Friday, The Washington Post reported that contractor that built the federal Obamacare health exchange had gotten the boot from the White House in favor of consulting firm Accenture.

Citing a person familiar with the matter, the Post reported that federal health officials are preparing to sign a year-long contract with Accenture worth about $90 million. The company built California's exchange. The Post said Accenture officials declined to comment.

WH dumps CGI Federal over Healthcare.gov disaster
Quote
(snip)

Consider this a bit of a mixed message. The Obama administration has insisted for the last two months that the problems with Healthcare.gov have largely been resolved, and that the web portal is now working within acceptable parameters. Now, however, they’re canning the company that delivered the mess and supposedly fixed it, for not fixing it:...

(snip)

In other words, it’s not fixed, and the people who brought us the big faceplant can’t handle the job at all. Instead, the administration will hire Accenture, a firm that has not done any work on a federal health-care system, to fix CGI Federal’s mess. And they will get paid $90 million to do so, which will boost the overall cost of the failing portal even more.

Accounting for Obamacare: Inside the Company That Built Healthcare.gov
Quote
(snip)

The story of how the Obama administration and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the agencies tasked with implementing the Affordable Care Act got it so wrong is still unfolding. Much of the blame has to fall on an insular White House that didn’t want to hear about problems, and another chunk has to land on CMS, which instead of hiring a systems integrator, whose job it would have been to ensure that all the processes feeding into healthcare.gov worked together, kept that role for itself.

Looks like they did another no bid contract. I wonder who the special friend in the Obama Administration is to the new company? I guess they're trying to spread the wealth (er tax dollars) to all their cronies.

Which is odd, we haven't heard much about it from the DUmmies.  If Bush gave a plumber a no-bid contract he was surely helping out big oil and business in some way and there were 26 threads about it at DU.

Their silence explains it all. Hope Breitbart's group or someone else looks into it. I'm confident it's another sweetheart deal for one of the Obama dummies.

At this point it no longer matters, they need to build (for the first time) a security backbone and a communication backend.

They could bring in skynet hunter-killers and they still could not fix it without taking it down for several months.

Follow this link.

Seems that I was right--it didn't take long for it to come out. Surprise, surprise, the new company was a top Obama donor and they are linked to a ten year employee who went to the Obama 2012 campaign. Also they're incorporated in Ireland.

Hope this link works. If not, will cut and paste the article here.

Oh, don't worry. The bundlers and donors to owebuma got the lion's share.

Well, bye. :bigbird:

BTW: this has got to be the longest, "Good-bye cruel world" farewell tour I have ever had the sorry misfortune to witness, honey child. Drama much? If you don't like us THAT MUCH, the Big Red 'X' is up there in the corner. Just click on that bad boy and get on with your pathetic, miserable excuse for a life.

But, as I'm sure this GCW is just like your last desperate plea for attention, see ya tomorrow, sweet cheeks.  :popcorn:
