Obama Regime Drops CGI As healthcare.gov Contractor

by JASmius

The latest in a long line of scapegoats, and yet it feels almost like an afterthought:

The Obama administration is dropping CGI Federal, the contractor responsible for building the glitch-laden HealthCare.gov website that has been a major source of the problems that hit ObamaCare when open enrollment began in October, a source tells the Washington Post.

Federal officials will sign a new contract with the consulting firm Accenture for a 12-month period worth about $90 million to take over and fix the problems that continue to plague the government-run site, the source said. The CGI contract is set to expire at the end of February.

Whatever.  Seems like Titanic deck chair shuffling to me.  Especially considering this:

Accenture is a large consulting firm that has done work for states before but it has not done any major work for the federal government. It was the firm behind California's state-run health exchange website, coveredca.gov.

Which is also "glitch-ridden," naturally.  And since Accenture built "Covered California"'s site, that tells you all you need to know about how well connected to and aligned with the Democrat Party they are.

But there is one important thing to remember: The "major source of the problems that hit ObamaCare when open enrollment began" was not healthcare.gov; that was just the first and most prominent problem because that was the first contact Americans had with the UCLA.  The major source of problems with ObamaCare is ObamaCare itself, because it was designed to "fail" so as to herd all non-Democrats into Single-Payer, or as I refer to it, Medicaid.

Pity we can't change administrations as easily as the Regime does web contractors.
