Team Obama Turned Down Free Offer to Build O-Care Website – Blew a $1 Billion Instead

Genius!…Obama Turned Down Free Offer to Build O-Care Website – Blew a $1 Billion Instead

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) told Bill Hemmer on America’s Newsroom today that an internet giant offered to build the Obamacare website for free.

This was confirmed during testimony today before a Congressional committee. Issa, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman, said the Obama White House turned down the offer.

Bill Hemmer: Was it proven today that an internet company offered to build the website for free but the government passed on it? Was that true? Did that happen?

Rep. Darrell Issa: It was stated under oath that it was true. No one argued that it wasn’t.

The Obama administration blew over a billion dollars so far to build the failed Obamacare website.

 

UPDATE: It looks like they were talking about IBM.
Via Politifact:

In a 2010 interview, IBM’s CEO said: “We could have improved quality and reduced the costs of the health-care system by $900 billion. … I said we would do it for free to prove that it works. They turned us down.”

Darrell Issa: “The goverment is allowed to accept free help and at the minimum this company could have given advice so as to prevent this website from becoming….. 

                             ….a COLOSSAL FAILURE.” (at 1:59 of video.)

      Rep Issa’s a major player, he puts up panels to investigate.

      He says Obamacare is a colossal failure.

      What else?

      • Anara

        No he is not a major player you dont understand what really happening behind the scenes
        nor will you ever because you are a nobody . He is about as well liked on the Hill as
        Cruz is and thats not a good thing.
