Cost of Healthcare.gov: $634 Million — So Far 497
First time accepted submitter Saethan writes "Healthcare.gov, the site to be used by people in 36 states to get insurance as part of the Affordable Care Act, has apparently cost the U.S. Government $634 million. Not only is this more than Facebook spent during its first 6 years in operation, it is also over $500 million above what the original estimate was: $93.7 million. Why, in a country with some of the best web development companies in the world, has this website, which is poor quality at best, cost so much?" That $634 million figure comes from this U.S. government budget-tracking system. Given that this system is national rather than for a single city, maybe everyone should just be grateful the contract didn't go to TechnoDyne.

So all government contracts go to female African-American small business owners who are veterans? No wonder the government doesn't get anything done, the poor women must be totally overworked.

What right wing sites, liberal???
There are no right wing sites. All of the sites, and the entire media, are left wing and biased. It is a constant attack on our principles, our freedoms, and America by the entire universe, and reality, which has an unfair liberal bias! Why do you hate freedom, liberal? Why do you hate prosperity? Can't you see that there are only a few conservatives (read, glorious defenders of freedom) left, and that the brave ones who speak out are shot? GLORY, GLORY HALLELUJAH! We shall prevail in the end!
