的公司的一名高级主管是第一夫人米雪儿在普林斯顿大学的同班同学。
「华盛顿观察家报」率先揭发政府没有经过公开招标和竞标程序,就把设立健保网站的
大工程交给一家加拿大公司设在美国的CGI联邦公司(CGI Federal)。也有消息透露,当
初共有四家公司提案争取这项9300万元的合同,卫生福利部却只审核CGI的标案。
这家公司2007年才获准成为政府的供应商,这表示它不必公开竞争,到2017年为止可以
获得总值高达40亿元的政府合同。虽然这家公司在奥巴马2009年1月就任总统前被列为
政府供应商,但米雪儿的同学托妮‧汤斯─惠特利(Toni Townes-Whitley)却是在
2010年5月才进入CGI公司,担任高级副总裁。她与米雪儿都是普林斯顿非裔校友会成员
。
米雪儿与CGI高级主管交情匪浅的消息,在社交媒体引发风暴,指控奥巴马政府用人唯
私。电台节目主持人西蒙(Mark Simone)写道:「错误百出的CGI是怎麽弄到不经竞标的
6亿7800万元设立网站合同的?他们是米雪儿的朋友。」
「华盛顿观察家报」也透露,CGI承包政府合同劣迹昭彰,包括未能在规定期限内,成
立糖尿病患和治疗供应业者的线上医疗登录网。在拖延了14个月后,加拿大安大略省政
府官员取消了这项4620万元的合同,至今仍拒绝支付任何费用给CGI。。。 | a*********a 发帖数: 3656 | 2 affirmative action 害死人啊。

政府如此任人唯亲,毫发无伤,没有任何accountability。比完全垄断的行业有过之而

政府无法有几个,也不能没有。政府的经费来源和管理模式注定了,政府浪费不可杜绝
。唯一的出路是小政府。大政府=大浪费,小政府=小浪费。政府的权力小了,什么
lobbying之类,自然就少了。

众议院能源与商业委员会当天提供的一份备忘录显示,网站启动以来,大多数访客无法
完成注册,更无法提交保险申请,频现数据缺陷,网站经常过载,民众不得不推迟购买
重大医疗保险,上述漏洞是因服务器容量不足、软件编码和系统架构落后导致的。
美国总统奥巴马21日曾就在线医保交易平台存在的漏洞表示,网站运营没能达到应有水
平,整个团队正采取一切措施进行补救。但他同时强调,该平台提供的产品对没有医保
覆盖的人群具备吸引力,迄今为止2000万人次的访问量凸显了民众的旺盛需求。
网站状况频发显然令美国人的申请大受影响。政府承诺,他们将在11月30日之前将网站

Not even the coolest president ever can conjure up a national medical regime
for 300 million people.
By Mark Steyn
If you’re looking for an epitaph for the republic (and these days who isn’
t?) try this — from August 2010 and TechCrunch’s delirious preview of
Healthcare.gov:
“We were working in a very very nimble hyper-consumer-focused way,”
explained Todd Park, the chief technology officer of the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services, “all fused in this kind of maelstrom of pizza,
Mountain Dew, and all-nighters . . . and, you know, idealism. That kind of
led to the magic that was produced.”
Wow. Think of the magic that Madison, Hamilton, and the rest of those
schlubs could have produced if they’d only had pizza and Mountain Dew and
been willing to pull a few all-nighters at Philadelphia in 1787. Somewhere
between the idealism and the curling slice of last night’s pepperoni, Macon
Phillips, the administration’s director of new media, happened to come
across a tweet by Edward Mullen of Jersey City in which he twitpiced his
design for what a health-insurance exchange could look like. So Phillips
printed it out to show his fellow administration officials: “Look, this is
the sort of creativity that is out there,” he said. “One thing led to
another and he left Jersey City to come to D.C. and helped push us through
an information architectural process.”
Don’t you just love it! This is way cooler than the decline and fall of the
Roman Empire: The only “architectural process” they had was crumbling
viaducts. I think we can all agree that Barack Obama is hipper than all
other government leaders anywhere, ever, combined. Unfortunately, the dogs
bark and the pizza-delivery bike moves on, and, in the cold grey morning
after of the grease-stained cardboard box with the rubberized cheese stuck
to it, Obamacare wound up somewhat less hipper and, in fact, not even HIPAA
— the unpersuasively groovy acronym for federally mandated medical privacy
in America. Appearing before Congress on Thursday, the magicians of
Obamacare eventually conceded that, on their supposedly HIPAA-compliant
database, deep in the “information architectural process” is a teensy-
weensy little bit of “source code” that reads, “You have no reasonable
expectation of privacy regarding any communication of any data transmitted
or stored on this information system.”
Democrat members of the House committee professed to be bewildered at why
anyone would be either surprised or upset to discover that his information
can be shared with anyone in the federal government, including a corrupt and
diseased IRS that uses what confidential information it can acquire to
torment perceived ideological enemies. And at a certain level the more blas
é of the people’s representatives such as New Jersey’s Frank Pallone have
a point: If Obama thinks nothing of tapping Angela Merkel’s cell phone (as
she had cause to complain to him on Wednesday, in what was said to be a “
cool” conversation, and not in the hepcat sense), why would he extend any
greater privacy rights to your Auntie Mabel?
Incidentally, do you think we need a congressional oversight committee to
look into the effectiveness of congressional oversight committees? Every
time I’m stuck at Gate 37 and glance up at the 24/7 Wolf Blitzer channel
there’s somebody testifying about something: Benghazi . . . Lois Lerner . .
. Obamacare . . . No one gets fired, no agency gets closed, nothing changes.
The witness who coughed up the intriguing tidbit about Obamacare’s
exemption from privacy protections was one Cheryl Campbell of something
called CGI. This rang a vague bell with me. CGI is not a creative free
spirit from Jersey City with an impressive mastery of Twitter, but a
Canadian corporate behemoth. Indeed, CGI is so Canadian their name is French
project was for the Canadian Firearms Registry. The registry was estimated
to cost in total $119 million, which would be offset by $117 million in fees
. That’s a net cost of $2 million. Instead, by 2004 the CBC (Canada’s PBS)
was reporting costs of some $2 billion — or a thousand times more
expensive.
Yeah, yeah, I know, we’ve all had bathroom remodelers like that. But in
this case the database had to register some 7 million long guns belonging to
some two-and-a-half to three million Canadians. That works out to almost $
300 per gun — or somewhat higher than the original estimate for processing
a firearm registration of $4.60. Of those $300 gun registrations, Canada’s
auditor general reported to parliament that much of the information was
either duplicated or wrong in respect to basic information such as names and
addresses.
Sound familiar?
Also, there was a 1-800 number, but it wasn’t any use.
Sound familiar?
So it was decided that the sclerotic database needed to be improved.
Sound familiar?
But it proved impossible to “improve” CFIS (the Canadian Firearms
Information System). So CGI was hired to create an entirely new CFIS II,
which would operate alongside CFIS I until the old system could be scrapped.
CFIS II was supposed to go operational on January 9, 2003, but the January
date got postponed to June, and 2003 to 2004, and $81 million was thrown at
it before a new Conservative government scrapped the fiasco in 2007. Last
year, the government of Ontario canceled another CGI registry that never saw
the light of day — just for one disease, diabetes, and costing a mere $46
million.
But there’s always America! “We continue to view U.S. federal government
as a significant growth opportunity,” declared CGI’s chief exec, in what
would also make a fine epitaph for the republic. Pizza and Mountain Dew isn
’t very Montreal, and on the evidence of three years of missed deadlines in
Ontario and the four-year overrun on the firearms database CGI don’t sound
like they’re pulling that many all-nighters. Was the government of the
United States aware that CGI had been fired by the government of Canada and
the government of Ontario (and the government of New Brunswick)? Nobody’s
saying. But I doubt it would make much difference. Asked by Mother Jones to
explain why Obama the candidate uses the Internet so effectively but Obama
the government is a bust, his 2008 tech maestro Clay Johnson put it this way
a Web developer; the first person you need to start a government-contracting
firm is an attorney.” The problem with Obamacare isn’t the website design
, it’s the nature of government procurement in an unaccountable bureaucracy
serving 300 million people.
Despite the best efforts of President Obama and doting tweeters in Jersey
City, government isn’t groovy. The standard rap on Obamacare is that it’s
turned America’s health system into the DMV. If only. I had cause to go to
the DMV in Twin Mountain, N.H., the other day. In and out in ten minutes.
Modest accommodations, a little down-at-heel, nothing cool about it at all.
But it worked just fine. Friendly chap, no complaints. Government can do
that at the town level, county level, even (more sparingly) at the state
level.
But a national medical regime for 300 million people? Not in a First World
country. And, when you’re mad enough to try it, the failure is not the
insignificant enrollment numbers, but the vaporization of the existing
health plans of 119,000 Pennsylvanians, 160,000 Californians, 300,000
Floridians, 800,000 in that tech tweeter’s New Jersey . . . That’s the
magic that happens when you disdain the limits of prosaic, humdrum, just-
about-functioning government. Perhaps things will get so bad the coolest
president ever will no longer seem quite so hip. But, alas, you’ll have to
wait three years for a hip replacement. That’s government health care for
you.
