I want me some of the government contract money.

Two billion — that’s billion with a “B” — on a website. That’s insane.

I haven’t been keeping up with “pop culture”. Has ObamaCare become “very popular” yet?

These criminals (the government “workers” who approved the contracts and those who got the contracts) should be in prison. This is yet another example of how these anti-American communists and their enablers want to steal your money.

Two Billion dollars is a pittance compared to the Trillions of dollars it will cost in very short order.

A little off topic as to the web site, but on topic to 0bamacare/wasted money: a person I know had been unemployed last October, and had signed up for her mandatory health insurance at that time, as soon as she was able to on the 0bamacare web site, for coverage to begin 1/1/2014. She took her COBRA for the several months in between.
She was not going to have to pay ANYTHING of the $477 monthly premium due to subsidy. It is Connecticut. She ended up getting a job in December, with benefits, and has been trying to cancel the other free 0bamacare coverage ever since and before it would have actually been in effect. Every month, she receives a notice that her $477 premium was covered by the government, yet again.
She is terrified that they will come along at some point and ask HER TO PAY the $477/month for all of the back months.
I also doubt the insurance company will refund the $477/month back to the government EVER, which is just wasted money for us taxpayers. Multiply that times millions of screwed up, similar situations.....

And where are all those people supposedly dying in the streets for the lack of ACA? I remember this one air-head almost in tears because of no 0bamacare they were supposed to get for free.

Wasn't the company who developed the Øbama(no)care site located in Canada and headed by a friend of Moochele?
Juuuust coincidence I guess.

So I wonder how many trips to Tahiti for new “salaried” Obamacare contracters this paid for.

"Two billion thats billion with a B on a website. Thats insane." The bureaucratic infrastructure and personnel required to administer this "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" will be huge, with legions of federal worker bees pulling down nice salaries, benefits and retirement packages and all requiring new buildings, furniture, etc, etc. As Nanzi P. warned us in urging its passage, so far all we've seen is the "affordable" part of Obamacare. We haven't yet gotten to the "privacy" part of this act rammed down America's throat: "patient protection". And Nanzi's Demokrats usually put the worst part first in their national socialist American worker party euphemisms: "Comrades! It's private and affordable!" So, yeah, we ain't seen nothin' yet. This is an ongoing train wreck. There's lots of drama coming--trillions of dollars in damage and human casualties yet to be incurred.

Thats got to be the most expensive website in the history of the interwebs.Ebay, Amazon and a gazillion other websites are both international and more complex that Obozocare's website, which is pretty much just an automated form.
I've heard it was a no bid contract that went to one of Moochelle's college friends, which means a slush fund to siphon off taxpayers' money to friends of the regime.
Hundreds of millions to get a website going is off the charts ridiculous and so obviously a money grab.
