Obamacare Huge Success!

CGI was selected for the ObminableCare website ...

.. there is NO EVIDENCE that CGI was selected TO WORK on any other project ... being "approved" to work on any project doesn't mean anything. Originally Posted by LexusLover

You can see every work order that CGI had with the Federal Government in this link. My point is Mrs. Obama did not help them. They had a relationship with the government long before Obama got elected.

Obama to Spend $1.5 Billion Promoting ObamaCare

The promotional budget for ObamaCare alone would cover much of the actual medical expenses for the people involved. But this was never about paying for medical care, it was about taking over health care for political reasons.

New Congressional estimates show the Obama administration is requesting another $774 million for Obamacare “outreach” and advertising in the 2015 budget. This is on top of the estimated $684 million they spent this year and the $52 million they spent on high-profile ads with athletes and Hollywood celebrities. That means the combined total in taxpayer funded advertising will be over $1.5 billion.

Barack Obama said last week, “We didn’t make a hard sell. We didn’t have billions of dollars in commercials like some critics did.”

It now looks like that was a lie, too.

Rep. Jack Kingston said, “I could have told him about the $774 million he requested for advertising and outreach in his budget or the $684 million already spent and the additional $52 million spent on celebrity endorsements of Obamacare.”

Let’s see.

Over a billion spent and a few million sign ups. If ObamaCare were a product, it would be a disaster.

You're right after all, Fluffy. I just read a transcript of the selection meeting. Here it is.

SHHS Sebelius: Larry, get in here. We have to hire a company to design the ACA website.

Larry: Ok, Madam Secretary. Here is the list.

SHHS: Larry, where did you get this list? I thought we could select whoever we wanted.

Larry: Well, this list was developed by President Bush. We have to use it.

SHHS: Why do I have to use the list Bush used?

Larry: It's just that way. President Bush thoroughly vetted these people. We don't have the capability to develop our own list.

SHHS: Ok. I understand. Bush did such a great job, I guess we should follow his lead. So which one on here should we use?

Larry: That would be CGI, Ma'am.

SHHS: Why CGI?

Larry: Well, that's the one President Bush has already selected for us. He did it late in his term.

SHHS: Larry, how could he do that? We hadn't even passed the ACA back then.

Larry: Madam Secretary, we all know how well President Bush could predict the outcome of things. He made this decision before he left office. It's now locked in stone and can't be changed.

SHHS: How could he "lock in stone" our web designer without even knowing this bill would be presented and passed?

Larry: He's just that good, ma'am. President Bush vetted and hired these people to do this project before any of us knew there would be a project.

SHHS: President Bush set very high standards. We were lucky to have him. Now, what did he tell you about Common Core?

End of transcript.

See Fluffy? I'm sorry I doubted you. Bush is totally at fault.

SHHS: Why CGI?

Larry: Well, that's the one the Bush Adminstration has already selected for us. They did it late in his term.

SHHS: Larry, how could they do that? We hadn't even passed the ACA back then.

SHHS: How could they "lock in stone" our web designer without even knowing this bill would be presented and passed?

CGI Federal's winning bid stretches back to 2007, when it was one of 16 companies to get certified on a $4 billion "indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity" contract for upgrading Medicare and Medicaid's systems. Government-Wide Acquisition Contracts — GWACs, as they're affectionately known — allow agencies to issue task orders to pre-vetted companies without going through the full procurement process, but also tend to lock out companies that didn't get on the bandwagon originally. According to USASpending.gov, CGI Federal got a total of $678 million for various services under the contract — including the $93.7 million Healthcare.gov job, which CGI Federal won over three other companies in late 2011.

Its kind of like making a major purchase, you can pull out at the last second if you don't like the product. Yes, it could be a house, a car, or (FLTR) an unmentionable subject matter here. So...even if it were true that the Bush administration vetted (which is not the same thing as final approval) CGI Federal the Obama administration (Sibelius) had every right if not a responsibility to cancel any agreement. So go ahead, grasp at those straws. It is the Obama people who signed off on it and that is where history will put it.

So you actually believe that the ACA website was being developed in 2007?

That's not even a "straw" .... that's a mirage.

The development for the website started after that.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services awarded its $4 billion Enterprise System Development (ESD) contract to a set of 16 contractors.

CMS will use the contract to acquire information technology over the next 10 years as the agency modernizes Medicare and Medicaid services and attempts to improve health care quality and reduce costs.

ESD is CMS' new approach for acquiring, delivering and managing IT. Services provided under the contract will include planning, business requirements, design, development, testing and maintenance.

Indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contracts were awarded to 16 firms, with a minimum value of $1,000 in orders per contractor and a maximum of $4 billion in total. CMS announced the multiple awards on Federal Business Opportunities Monday.

You are a piece of work, Fluffy! Even the guys running the great Obamatron in Chicago are laughing their asses off at the incredibly stupid things they are able to make you say.

I'll check the Chronicle Op-Ed pages for you, BigTits!

"Emulation" in Chicago has been laughing since he abandoned ship!

As for Flighty-Fluffy .. what's the point ... he thinks that an ...

"approval" for an opportunity to be hired is .... a "contract"!!!

Just like he thinks that "signing up for insurance" is "coverage"!!!!

Get it? BigTits? A chip off your old block .....

"Bush's fault!" ... in other words .... according to Flighty-Fluffy ...

.. had the Bush administration not approved CGI for government contracts, Michelle's fellow school mate would have never been invited to the White House and the company for which her fellow school mate works would have never been selected for a $200-500 million contract with the OBMINABLE ADMINISTRATION ... soooooo

let's follow that logic ... the hunt for an IT contractor began in the Bush Administration and was finalized in the Obaminable Administration so the failure was to be blamed on the Bush Administration.

.............................. ....the hunt for Bin Laden began in the Bush Administration and was finalized in the Obaminable Administration so the SUCCESS was AWARDED to the Bush Administration.

Right BigTits?

the broken Obamatron record playing in COF's warped mind trumps everything

To clarify and "fact check" ... CGI was "certified" in 2007 as a contractor, along with many others, who was "eligible" to participate in upgrading IT systems ... software ...

One has to be naive of the highest order if one believes that a classmate/alumni association with the First Lady plays no role in being selected for a $200 million contract.

Michelle's classmate worked for CGI at the time made a number of visits to the White House ....


CGI had a shabby history in Canada .... in the medical field for IT work.

In the enthusiasm to blame Bush at every opportunity, the facts get twisted!

But at the same time the "blamers" don't give him credit for finding OBL!
