Our brilliant Obama Administration hired a Canadian tech firm to design and implement the glitch-ridden United States national health care exchange site healthcare.gov.

CGI Federal is a subsidiary of Montreal-based CGI Group which since 2009 the Obama administration has showered it with $1.4 billion in federal contracts, according to USAspending.gov.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services awarded CGI $55.7 million to launch Healthcare.gov, its central Obamacare health exchange website. Over the full five years of the contract, CGI could receive as much as $93.7 million and scheduled for much more despite the U.S. Govt Accountability Office criticizing the pace of development and testing for http://www.healthcare.gov.'s IT system and noted that it was missing important milestone deadlines.

Consumers have encountered widespread problems since Obamacare's website went live. The system has crashed, pages do not open and many citizens complain they cannot register.
HHS is by far the single largest federal contractor of CGI, with $645 million in contracts. The Defense Department pays the Canadian company $254 million, the EPA $58 million and the Justice Department $36 million. In comparison, in 2008, under President George W. Bush, CGI contracts totaled only $16.5 million for all federal departments and agencies.

It's chairman, Serge Godin leads a corporate colossus with a market capitalization of $8.9 billion. According to Forbes, last year Godin received an annual compensation package worth $4.6 million. He personally owns 31.9 million shares of CGI stock worth more than $1 billion.

The interesting question is why did Obama dump so much U.S. taxpayer money on an incompetent CANADIAN company?? Aren't there enough incompetent AMERICAN companies out there that he could have awarded the contract to?? How about we just outsource it to China, that way we can 100% guarantee that it will be a non-performing implosion of inadequacy.

The government blames the amount of hits as overwhelming the site but outside technology experts have uncovered so many flaws in the systems architecture that outlining them all would turn this into a 5000 word blog. It looks like CGI built a very poor quality site with little rhyme or reason to its architecture and put it through zero stress tests prior to its implementation.

I suspect that the piss poor architecture was purposefully designed that way so they will have to do constant re-configurations- generating a nice bill for us taxpayers in the process of course.

Authors Bio:

Hello. My name is Chey Barnes. I just wanted to post a brief introduction before I start posting some other topics. I live in South Florida and enjoy all the perks associated with Florida living such as boating and sports. I’m an accomplished artist, gardener, chef, and the mother of two beautiful girls aged 18 and 10. They look so much alike that they could be twins - except for being 8 years apart.

I spent many years in the Telecom industry working for BellSouth and AT&T but found it a tad dry and moved into Streaming LIVE Media over the Internet which is a new and growing field. I’ve been doing that for about 5 years now. It has been challenging as we are pioneers in the field.

I’m a volunteer at Feeding America and Feeding South Florida food distribution centers and an active member at South Palm Church’s Video Production Team, Baptism Team, and Good Samaritan Growth Group.

I’ve always enjoyed writing and recently completed my first novel "Microchip the Agenda in Now" which will be released in the fall of 2014. I was driven by spirit day and night to get this book finished, which wasn’t easy with working a regular job full time. It took me 6 years to get it complete.

Here is a short narrative that can best describe what my science-fiction novel is about:

In the not too distant future, the world’s economy has completely collapsed. The new one world government in conjunction with the World Central Reserve Bank has plans to usher in a new era of peace and economic security. There is just one slight hitch; everyone is now required to take the World Central Reserve bio-chip inserted into the lower right quadrant of their wrist. This new means of transfer and payment replaces the old outdated banking and currency systems throughout the globe.

Everyone from bikers to blue bloods is now required to take the microchip or suffer the consequences. Tens of thousands flee to find safe haven where they can live in harmony without being micro-chipped.

Soon order is restored from chaos and all is well in the world. Or is it?

Is this simple data transmitter is much more than it seems? Is more than just a financial agenda behind the frightening technology that lurks deep within the bio-chip?

Thanks for having me on your forum, I’m happy to be here.
