CGI Federal, The Designers of the Bungled Healthcare.gov Rollout, Are Back! Back at the IRS

“The Internal Revenue Service is under investigation by an oversight subcommittee of the House Ways and Means Committee for signing a $4.46 million contract with a Canadian company called CGI Federal – despite the fact that the same company was responsible for the disastrous launch of HealthCare.gov.”

“Roskam reminded Koskinen that CGI Federal had already been fired by the Department of Health and Human Services, Vermont and Massachusetts for their failure to rollout websites associated with the Affordable Care Act in an efficient fashion.” - The IRS Hired the Same Company That Botched The Healthcare.gov Rollout, 01/24/2015, daily signal.com

Another ACA Web Site Bites the Dust: Massachusetts Scraps ACA Site. Price? $100 Million!

“Massachusetts plans to scrap the state’s dysfunctional online health insurance website, after deciding it would be too expensive and time-consuming to fix, and replace it with a system used by several other states to enroll residents in plans.

Simultaneously, the state is preparing to temporarily join the federal HealthCare.gov insurance marketplace in case the replacement system is not ready by the fall.

The strategy announced Monday will still cost an estimated $100 million, and it creates many uncertainties, especially for insurance companies and consumers. Some customers might eventually need to change insurance plans.” - Mass. scrapping flawed health insurance website. Next steps have uncertainties for users, insurers - Bostonglobe.com, 05/05/2014
