As if losing taxpayers money of over $500 million gamble on Solyndra was not enough, now we are hit with more wasteful spending by Obama because of his arrogance and ineptitude. The debacle Obamacare website is still having problems and people still dont want it. Obamacare Website Has Cost $840 Million A slew of management failures led to the sites disastrous launch, according to a new GAO report. The Obama administration has spent roughly $840 million on HealthCare.gov, including more than $150 million just in cost overruns for the version that failed so badly when it launched last year. The Government Accountability Office says cost overruns went hand-in-hand with the management failures that led to the disastrous launch of HealthCare.gov and the 36 state insurance exchanges it serves. GAOs report, prepared for a House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing Thursday, details a long series of management, oversight, and contracting problems that plagued the entire process, from risky contracting practices in 2011 through the botched launch last October. A massive repair effort got the site stabilized by January, and despite the early failures, the administration ended up exceeding its enrollment target for this year. More than 8 million people chose plans through Obamacare, including the 36 states whose marketplaces run through HealthCare.gov. All the same, GAO says, similar problems could arise again without structural changes in the way the government manages its contracts and spending. nationaljournal/health-care/obamacare-website-has-cost-840-million-20140730
