Oh, I don’t know, more wealth redistribution to favored contractors/supporters?

I have little doubt that at least some graft was involved in the dispensing of contracts to healthcare.gov tech service contractors. However, my layperson impression of graft is that it thrives best in the shadows-- not highlighted in contract change orders that do not make any technical sense. Therefore, at least to me, graft does not appear to be a likely motivation in this particular instance. So in this case, if that is correct, then it seems to me as if the Obama Administration was compelled to take the lesser evil of changing the contracts, tossing any work already performed, and the appearance of incompetence and potential graft over the alternative of paying large amounts of money for the development of multiple redundant software modules to perform the same task (cf "NIH," or "not invented here"-- a very well recognized disorder in software management).
