[Freewill]

Typical of liberal stated intent, the opposite of the outcome.

The OIG provided a summary of its findings:
The 60 contracts related to the development and operation of the Federal Marketplace started between January 2009 and January 2014. The purpose of the 60 contracts ranged from health benefit data collection and consumer research to cloud computing and Web site development. The original estimated values of these contracts totaled $1.7 billion; the contract values ranged from $69,195 to over $200 million. Across the 60 contracts, nearly $800 million has been obligated for the development of the Federal Marketplace as of February 2014. As of that date, CMS had paid nearly $500 million for the development of the Federal Marketplace to the contractors awarded these contracts.

If you read your own OP perhaps you will discover that it was for more than just a website. Terms like "cloud computing" might give you a hint.

that's just (historically) disgusting for Obama to put a new ENTITLEMENT and grow government at the same time on our backs at a time when the ECONOMY was in the crapper and we the TAXPAYERS could least afford it
and the TOPPER, only and this is number is questionable. 8MILLION people out of 350 million people has signed up for it...

Obama and his comrades in arms are vile human beings
