I don't know whether to laugh or cry. This truly goes into the "you can't make this shit up file".
The parent company of the IT firm is from Montreal Quebec. (that's Canada for those that failed geography). This means this job was outsourced.
It gets worse. A very very liberal government in Ontario fired them for incompetence.
The Obama administration hired them though and awarded them 6 contracts.
Check it out. Just think how badly your government is going to run your healthcare system.
You should be scared shitless.
Canadian provincial health officials last year fired the parent company of CGI Federal, the prime contractor for the problem-plagued Obamacare health exchange websites, the Washington Examiner has learned.
CGI Federal’s parent company, Montreal-based CGI Group, was officially terminated in September 2012 by an Ontario government health agency after the firm missed three years of deadlines and failed to deliver the province’s flagship online medical registry.
The online registry was supposed to be up and running by June 2011.
Officials at the U.S. government's Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services awarded six technology contracts worth $87 million to CGI Federal for Obamacare website work, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office.
The CMS officials refused to say if federal officials knew of its parent company’s IT failure in Canada when awarding the six contracts.

Oh and it really is worth the read to see what other contracts they have in the US.
