$2 Billion Obamacare Website

[somarco]

The federal government's Obamacare enrollment system (healthcare.gov) has cost about $2.1 billion ........ so far

The construction of healthcare.gov involved 60 companies, supervised by employees of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services instead of a lead contractor

I posted in a thread last week that the $2.1 Billion equates to about $330 of taxpayer's money to process each HC.gov enrollee. Does that sound about right Somarco?

Stop bitching. The money has been well spent to replace the health insurance that has been cancelled.

NoNoNo Rick. The $2.1 Billion came FROM taxpayers/insured Americans, and went to contractors..not to increase the number of insured in this country.

It's a well known fact that without spending money on this website there would be no way for people to buy health insurance.

This is why absolutely no one in the country was insured until Obama was elected.

AC, I apologize, I missed your comment in another thread. Not trying to steal your thunder.

As for your math, I will assume it is correct.

Good grief Somarco. Noone expects you (or anyone else) to remember every post in this massive forum. Posting information regarding how HHS is wasting taxpayer dollars is never a "thunder stealer". On the contrary, you're helping to generate positive Karma for the upcoming elections!

Most agents here hadn't even started high school when he made that post.

And most of the FE agents hadn't dropped out of high school yet.
