(CNN) -- Tech titans Oracle and Red Hat are joining the effort to "address the problems around HealthCare.gov," the federal website for Obamacare, according to a spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
"As part of the 'Tech Surge,' we've added key personnel from the government and private sector, including expert engineers and technology managers. These dozens of people are strengthening and reinforcing the team we have working 24/7 to address the problems around HealthCare.gov," said Julie Bataille.
The experts come from Red Hat and Oracle, and include Michael Dickerson, a site reliability engineer on leave from Google, she said.
It's been almost a month since the website for enrolling in President Barack Obama's signature health care reforms went live. Technical problems, despite a series of advance warning signs, have impeded the system and provoked anger and frustration.

I guess all the other “experts” brought in to fix it gave up already, huh?

In the govt nothing succeeds like failure...
more headcount
more contractors
more budget
And since Ben can create unlimited amounts of money, it’s no problem paying for it either.

I won’t be surprised if Obama throws some made up title at Romney and asks him to step into this stinking mess. Hopefully Ann, and the oldest boy will talk Mitt out of what may look like a very tempting offer to save the day.

Oracle has done fraud before. QE 3 and 4 and 5 will be slurped down in a jiffy.
With healthy kickbacks to the elite.

Cruella testified that CGI has not been paid.
Perhaps there is money left in the CGI contract.
I suspect these guys will get a pass and a lanyard and then be told what to fix and how to fix it.
The powers that be in the trenches are not yet ready to throw in their towel and admit failure.

They could have cloned or piggybacked onto Medicaid.gov.
The thing should not have cost more than a million bucks.
Everything government does is a clusterobama.

You sure you got the right Red Hat. I’m pretty they are talking the Red Hat that develops a well known flavor of Linux: http://www.redhat.com/

Given how much money and support Obama got from Silicon Valley, I’m sure that all of this tech support is happy to work for free to fix this problem, right? /sarc

If Obama had wanted it working in the first place, why didn't they give the original web site development contract to IBM, a company famous for very large-scale IT implementations historically? Or are they just too cheap?
