It's washington, politics are part of project management. A 'bunker mentality' WRT subpoenas is totally justified on this project, given how Republicans have acted. You want to pay people by the hour to give testimony while their job goes undone? As for having medicare/medicaid quarterback it.. honestly, that makes sense to me too. It's healthcare in the government, it involves deep integration with medicare/medicaid, if they're not capable of managing those contractors then they need to learn how. I'm not defending the execution in general, but those 2 specific decisions seem ok to me. There weren't a lot of political problems building the site, so those decisions paid off -- they just needed to execute better on the technical stuff.
