From Companies That Built The Obamacare Website…


Now this is good stuff...


Five House Democrats are asking the Obama administration to seek a refund from the companies that built the ObamaCare website, which has so far failed to work for most people trying to sign up for health insurance.

“It is no secret that the website has not performed in a satisfactory manner,” wrote Reps. Ron Barber (D-Ariz.), William Enyart (D-Ill.), Pete Gallego (D-Texas) Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) and Filemon Vela (D-Texas).

“As a result, we ask that you review the contracts and determine whether CGI Federal and/or any other company involved in the construction of the website has violated the terms of its agreement or is in constructive breach of the contract.”

The Democrats made the request to Attorney General Eric Holder in a letter released today, but sent late last week. The letter says the administration must “seek to hold contractors accountable for their unsatisfactory work.”

Not sure where this will go. For all we know, the websites were built EXACTLY as mandated in their contract. Or it's possible late change orders just made the damn thing worse. This is government's fault; they either picked the wrong contractor or asked for the wrong merchandise.

I'm kind of thinking that the DOJ has already looked into it. I mean, if you were responsible for this catastrophe, wouldn't you look into legal remedies. These guys are just looking for political cover.

#1 way to screw up an IT project... Constantly adjust the scope and deliverables while assuming more manpower will help.

#1 thing about administrative law administered by FEDGOV... Contantly change the rules and assume more money thrown at the problem fixes it..

Oh yea this is going to work out great..

They made changes directed from the WH that they were told would not work. Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead. Any DOJ investigation will expose the Zero Administration as complete incompetent fools who cant even develop a website no less the massive rework of the healthcare industry.
