Eh what do IT guys know they aren't union and don't work for the government.............

"Comparable private-sector e-commerce sites, like eHealthInsurance.com, allow you to shop for plans and compare prices simply by entering your age and your ZIP code. After you’ve selected a plan you like, you fill out an on-line application. That substantially winnows down the number of people who rely on the site for network-intensive tasks..”





It appears Obama will have somebody else to blame soon.........Oracle. LOL What a piece of garbage our president is.

"It's not the tool, but how you use it that matters." QSSI and CGI have a lot of explaining to do.

Regardless, the vacuous attempt to try to make this situation sound like anything other than a couple of corporations bidding low and then trying to set their expenses in line with what their sales group bid rather than what their operations staff determined the job needed is indefensible.

Dem contractors aren't even embarrassed by their failures.

It's just part of a day's non-work for Dems.

Just more ridiculous nonsense spewed by the right-wing to try to vacuously dupe casual readers into believing their corrupted vitriol.

QSSI was awarded contracts by the Bush Administration for work they did at HUD, HHS, and IRS. CGI was awarded contracts by the Bush Administration for work they did at EPA. CGI donated $147,700 in 2012 to the Republican Governors Assn but only $35,000 to the Democratic Governors Assn. Their donations to individual candidates show no significant bias one way or the other.

The contract that Barack gave for Obamascare website was awarded as a NO BID CONTRACT. Barack claimed in 2008 that he would do away with "no bid" contracts, but in reality he has INCREASED them by 9%.

Why don't you tell the truth instead of a partial, ridiculously biased corruption of the truth?

"CGI was one of 16 companies that had been qualified by HHS during President George W. Bush's second term to deliver, without public competition, a variety of hardware, software and communication products and services. ... Linda Odorisio, CGI’s vice president for global communications insisted in an email to the Examiner that the Obmacare Healthcare.gov project had multiple bidders."

[Source: Right-wing propaganda rag "Washington Examiner".)

I deliberately used a right-wing propaganda rag so right-wingers couldn't challenge the source. We won't know if there was actually multiple bidders or not for a while, but we do know that the proper bid process was used. If only one company qualified by the Bush administration agreed to bid, then that says something about how little profit there was to be made from pursuing this business with the government.

Maybe this will teach right-wingers and other who are blindly pro-business a lesson, and get them to support new transparency regulations for both public and private business transactions. Of course, right-wingers are far too money-grubbing to actually support something that will make the contracting process cost so much more money to operate.

The fact is that you Pubs have lost and continue to lose. What a stupid "de-fund" effort by the weak tea bag GOPers.

The health care law is far better than any GOP non-effort...and don't you forget it either.
