There are a lot of problems with the ObamaCare<\/a> website right now. That’s not news–you knew that already. But did you know about the connection between the AARP<\/a>, United Healthcare<\/a>, and this miserable healthcare website?<\/p>\n

Yesterday the Washington Post<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n

The company chosen<\/a> by the Obama administration to oversee the repair of the new federal health insurance Web site<\/a> faced questions from lawmakers a year ago about whether it was an appropriate choice for earlier work on the site, given that it is owned by the country\u2019s largest health insurance company<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Columbia<\/a>-based Quality Software Services Inc. \u2014 known as QSSI \u2014 was purchased by \u00adUnited\u00adHealth Group in September 2012, months after it was picked by the Department of Health and Human Services to help set up the Affordable Care Act Web site. That called for work on three areas: build a data hub for the site so that information could be transferred between different groups, deliver a tool to help users register, and do some testing of the technology.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Keep in mind that QSSI was chosen without the normal bidding process. Remember that the AARP was one of the early supporters of ObamaCare because they will make millions on supplemental medicare programs through United Health Group<\/a>, the parent company of United Healthcare. There are other interesting connections between OSSI and various White House types.<\/p>\n

Yesterday the Daily Caller <\/a>reported a connection between the Obamas and the website developer.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Toni Townes-Whitley, Princeton class<\/a> of \u201985, is senior vice president at CGI Federal, which earned the no-bid contract<\/a> to build the $678 million Obamacare enrollment website at Healthcare.gov. CGI Federal is the U.S. arm of a Canadian company.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…George Schindler<\/a>, the president for U.S. and Canada of the Canadian-based<\/a> CGI Group<\/a>, CGI Federal\u2019s parent company, became an Obama<\/a> 2012 campaign donor after his company gained the Obamacare website contract.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Da Tech Guy On DaRadio makes another interesting observation:<\/p>\n

Now there is nothing wrong with pointing out the issues with the site, it speaks to the competence of this administration or lack thereof but any conservative writer or pundit who does had better damn well make sure they stress the real problems with Obamacare which have nothing to do with coding.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because if they don\u2019t, when the coding interface is repaired the media will declare Obamacare \u201cfixed\u201d and it won\u2019t matter how many people lose their insurance. How many people\u2019s deductibles double or how much more individuals pay for worse coverage. The conversation will be over and they will move to the next topic that serves the administration\u2019s purpose.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That is the crux of what DaTechGuy is saying, but please follow the link above to his article\u2013he includes a few very good video clips to make his point.<\/p>\n

Generally speaking, ObamaCare is an example of crony capitalism at its worst. The Republicans were right to shut down the government in an effort to stop this runaway train.<\/p>\n
