Mass. calls in Oracle to help cure over-budget healthcare site
Bosotn Herald ^ | November 12, 2013 | Chris Cassidy Matt Stout

The state’s $69 million Obama­care website is “overbudget,” has missed deadlines and now is bringing in eleventh-hour engineering assistance from Oracle, in the face of looming cutoff dates that could force some to go without health insurance, the Herald has learned.

The fix comes after the Herald reported Saturday a mere 1 percent of applicants facing canceled health plans had managed to enroll in Obamacare plans through the state’s website, with just weeks before many plans 
expire Dec. 31.

Gov. Deval Patrick yesterday brushed off any concerns about the system.

And then there was that uber-brilliant czar dude that promised the whole world that it would be totally working by November 30. What happened to him?

No such thing as a "tech surge".

But it sure sounds good.

Next up?

Wait for it...

Its not just the website. No private company rescue, of a public mandate, is going to push certain individuals,to sign up to a proscribed plan. Mr. Patrick can hire all the free market entities he wants.Private enterprise cant execute a business model that is neither business or model.The one percent of cancelled residents of Massachusetts that have signed on have no real incentive to pay for “ non subprime plans”.
