- malandrew 13y agoCMS officials are tight-lipped about why CGI was chosen or how it happened. They also refuse to say if other firms competed with CGI, or if there was ever a public solicitation for building Healthcare.gov, the backbone of Obamacare’s problem-plagued web portal. Can someone please explain to me on what grounds they are allowed to deny the public this information?
- hga 13y ago“This is the most transparent administration in history,” Obama said.... many, many times, e.g. http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/283335-obama-this-is-the-most-transparent-administration-in-history http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/283335-obam... More seriously, it's absolutely no surprise after the good to great job they're said to be doing with CMS.gov and are clearly doing with Medicare.gov. I can attest that the latter is good, albeit a bit clunky, at handling claims presentation and Part D prescription plan selection and transmitting that to insurance companies. As I've said elsewhere many times, the clear responsibility for this screw-up is with the CMS on up to the White House (including a 3+ month freeze in the process in the run up to the 2012 election), and just recently that the site now has a chance with CMS being replaced as the integrator by QSSI and the new fix-it czar acknowledging reality and saying his top priority is to stop feeding the insurance companies garbage, something no one else in the Administration was even willing to say was a big problem. Prior to that management change, name your Google/Facebook/Lisper/whatever dream team ... there's no way they could have possibly won.
