This may come as no surprise, but the Govt has a terrible track record when it comes to funding/managing technology and Healthcare.gov is no different. Hackers have taken to Obamacare’s flagship and found little to zero resistance to their efforts, but that shouldn’t surprise anyone. You see, this year alone the Federal Government will spend over $76 billion on information technology and of that $76b, it is estimated that $12.5b (700 different projects) may never bare any fruit. That’s 1 billion of every 6 billion dollars being spent, will be wasted. In tangible numbers, that is $50 from every taxpayer, or 10 e-copies of The Communist Manifesto.
