What about the fact that Michelle Obama has close ties to a top executive at CGI (who won a no-bid government contract to build HealthCare.gov)?
Via Daily Mail:
Several Obamacare exchanges in states that didn’t participate in the healthcare.gov fiasco are now having so much trouble with their own health insurance websites that they’re withholding payments to their biggest IT contractor – and it’s the same company that botched the federal government’s insurance portal.
CGI Group, the Montreal company behind the White House’s error-prone, $677 million online white elephant, is under fire in Massachusetts, Vermont and Hawaii after those states’ Affordable Care Act websites suffered from some of the same problems that first made Obamacare a late-night punchline in October.
The Commonwealth Health Connector has paid just $11 million to CGI for the Massachusetts project, although the website contract carried a $69 price tag, according to Fox News.
A Massachusetts government official who requested anonymity told MailOnline that his state was ‘just one of the governments that got substandard, messed-up results’ from the contractors it chose.
‘If we could do it all over again,’ the official said, ‘we would have been better off hiring a half-dozen undergrads at MIT.’
