Tin-foil hats at the ready as Obamanoids declare Koch brothers are behind healthcare glitches

Obama supporters are simply refusing to believe that Obamacare could be anything short of world beating, with many blaming the glitch ridden rollout of Healthcare.gov on a nefarious right wing conspiracy to sabotage the Affordable Care Act.

Many Obama supporters have taken to social media to float the notion that the Koch brothers, Charles G. and David H. Koch, the billionaire industrialists, are funding an army of techies and hackers to somehow infiltrate and take down the Healthcare.gov website.

Of course, these baseless theories do not take into account the fact that many experts involved with the construction of the Healthcare.gov website have revealed exactly why it is so riddled with glitches.

As reported by TechDirt, tech experts and those within the insurance industry who had access long before the failed launch of the website have said that the problems have arisen from the fact that, besides the $634,320,919 in taxpayer money that was invested to construct Healthcare.gov, the website was built by political cronies, rather than by Internet native companies and individuals with any experience of building and maintaining large-scale, public-facing web-based apps.

Robert Laszewski, a consultant with clients in the healthcare industry participating in the new exchange, said insurance companies were complaining “loudly” that the site had experienced problems before the launch. “People were pulling out their hair,” he told The Washington Post last week, also calling for a complete shutdown and rebuild, because “Things are worse behind the curtain than in front of it”.

The New York Times reported that Henry Chao, described as “the chief digital architect for the Obama administration’s new online insurance marketplace,” was “deeply worried about the web site’s debut” way back in March. Chao commented that he hoped Obamacare would not amount to “a third-world experience.”

It is now thoroughly documented that senior White House officials probably knew that the site was not ready when it was launched.

The firm that built the website, Canadian company CGI, has a long history of failures, cost overruns, and conflicts of interest, including canceled contracts to build health care databases in the provinces of Ontario and New Brunswick.

The company also failed to deliver on a contract for a hi-tech registry for the then-Liberal Canadian government’s gun control program. After going ”significantly over budget” and failing to meet deadlines, the end product CGI supplied was faulty and never functioned correctly.

Gotta See....
