Totally agree. The government even goes with the lowest cost and then go in front of the TV and declare that they are working on getting jobs created for Americans.
All a bunch of hypocrites, all of them.
If you are spending TAXPAYER dollars, I prefer they go with LOWEST COST supplier.
Our wonderful 'do nothing' president just can't help from helping corporate CEOs (1%) at the expense of the middle class worker (99%).
Computerworld - Some state governments are willing to hire offshore IT service providers to work on healthcare IT projects under controversial contracts that don’t bar use of temporary foreign labor, or workers on H-1B visas.
Two multimillion-dollar government healthcare IT projects, one in Illinois and the other in the District of Columbia, illustrate what’s going on.
In Illinois, Cognizant was awarded a $74.1 million contract in June to upgrade the state’s Medicaid systems to meet the requirements of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare.
In January, the District of Columbia awarded Infosys a $49.5 million contract to develop a health benefit exchange and replace its Medicaid and eligibility systems.
Near 15,000 US IT workers fired since June and they are bringing in H1-B's to do the work.
Don't forget these guys who appear to be running the new exchange site. It's a publicly traded company. (govt owned) responsible for 10-20% of all internet traffic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akamai_Technologies
Then the company you mentioned is also publicly traded, as well. Think corps not countries. HQ really doesn't matter to govt. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infosys

Akamai is "govt owned" (sic)? That appears to not be the case.
My employer still pays 100% of my health-care premium, which has a maximum out-of-pocket limit of $2000 per plan year.
Our IT department is hiring tons of people, and we're vastly expanding our healthcare-related IT infrastructure.
Nice try at cherry-picking the news for anecdotal evidence to support your lame arguments.
You and your cherry are about as lame as it gets.
