Oops. The Principal ObamaCare Contractor Had a Terrible Record in Canada as Well
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…
In Canada, eHealth, the Ontario provincial agency, scrapped its high-profile online medical registry for diabetes sufferers and treatment providers, and cancelled CGI Group’s $46.2 million contract, on Sept. 5, 2012. The company was 14 months behind schedule when it was given notice of termination by the Ontario government agency.
In the meantime, a group of other Ontario IT companies successfully replicated the registry, rendering CGI’s project obsolete. (More)
Not surprising. Companies that make a living off the government tend to become amazingly inefficient.
It’s like a virus. You see one person not working and you start to want to stop working as well.
And most of Europe is infected with it.
How’s it even possible to be that far behind schedule? Did they just not work at all?
You’d think they would at least have bursts of activity to *try* and meet the deadline.
“In the meantime, a group of other Ontario IT companies successfully replicated the registry, rendering CGI’s project obsolete.”
Private business once again fills in the cracks that government leaves behind.
People inevitably step up to make what they need, given time.
Private business would never step up if government didn’t go their first.
If Republicans had stood behind the law then the Administration would have had more resources to hire a better company.
You’d just like it if there wasn’t any difference between the two parties.
I would. Then the American people would get what they need.
Maybe because they knew it would end badly?
Didn’t anyone check their record?
Clearly no one cared.
How is this company still in business? If mine did something like that then we’d shut our doors pretty darn quick.
Sounds to me like someone did a favor for someone by giving them the contract…..
