The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is looking for vendors to run its "National Data Warehouse," a database for "capturing, aggregating, and analyzing information" related to beneficiary and customer experiences with Medicare and the federal Obamacare marketplaces.

We’ll pay for Nordstroms and get Target.
They should be offering the contract to whomever is hacking into the CC systems of Target, Staples, X-Box, Chick-fil-a, yadayadayada. There’s no way such a massive central database wouldn’t be a treasure trove, pot of gold target of opportunity.
He’s not down for the struggle.
I think you might even be understating.
The IRS, as long as they lose it all.
“Looks like GE has a foot in the door... “
The BNSF railroad hired GE to build a replacement centralized train dispatching system several years ago and they were not competent. When attempting to use it, we had technicians, one per every four dispatchers rebooting computers as the crashed. The RR had to revert to the old system they had.
