Canadian officials fired IT firm behind troubled Obamacare website

[tinydancer]

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. This truly goes into the "you can't make this shit up file".



The parent company of the IT firm is from Montreal Quebec. (that's Canada for those that failed geography). This means this job was outsourced.



It gets worse. A very very liberal government in Ontario fired them for incompetence.

The Obama administration hired them though and awarded them 6 contracts.

Check it out. Just think how badly your government is going to run your healthcare system.
You should be scared shitless.


Canadian provincial health officials last year fired the parent company of CGI Federal, the prime contractor for the problem-plagued Obamacare health exchange websites, the Washington Examiner has learned.

CGI Federal’s parent company, Montreal-based CGI Group, was officially terminated in September 2012 by an Ontario government health agency after the firm missed three years of deadlines and failed to deliver the province’s flagship online medical registry.

The online registry was supposed to be up and running by June 2011.

Officials at the U.S. government's Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services awarded six technology contracts worth $87 million to CGI Federal for Obamacare website work, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office.


The CMS officials refused to say if federal officials knew of its parent company’s IT failure in Canada when awarding the six contracts.

Oh and it really is worth the read to see what other contracts they have in the US.

One can't say this is unbelievable because it certainly is. Not only did they go out of the country to get someone to do this job, the didn't vet the company or look into it's background!

Now, with their signature accomplishment on the rocks, we can sit idly by and hope that the same company will be responsible for identifying those who neglected to sign up and have to be fined!

What a mess this administration continues to be.

the company is obama's donors, RIGHT?
like solyndra.

it would be funny if that won't be almost tragic.

the most incompetent and corrupt government in the US history hires the most incompetent big pockets which give him OUR money.

that's typical corruption of the left.
whenever dimocraps rule - they are plagued with this type of corruption. Always.

 

[Rozman]

And to think that the party in control wants more and more power to be handed over to government.
And what's worse the Democrat voters want to give it to them.
For them bigger government is better government.

It's pretty unreal that no one thought to really vet this company. Or they did and got $$$ by taking them on anyway.

And I can pretty well guarantee you there are kickbacks involved because they are out of Quebec. It's just the way they do business in that province. It's a scandal a minute.

Have you noticed that if Obama touches a company it is either all ready in the crapper, or it soons starts the big swirl?

The winners he picks always turn out to be losers.
