Top Obama Donor Gets Paid To Fix Obamacare Website After Blowing It Up

Tyler Durden's picture




 

The ironically-named Quality Software Services Inc (QSSI) allegedly responsible for the SNAFU that is the Obamacare website's data hub has, incredibly, been named the new general contractor in charge off repairing the glitch-plagued HealthCare.gov. As The NY Post reports, as if the $150 million so far paid to this UnitedHealth subsidiary for its farcically bad implementation was not enough, the executive vice president of the firm (Anthony Welters) and his wife were among Obama's largest personal campaign contributors during the 2008 election cycle (and the firm has spent millions "lobbying" for Obamacare). The cronyism runs deep as the Post also points out that visitor logs show at least a dozen visits between the two by the end of 2012, the most recent information available.

 

The man at the center of the "cronyism"... Anthony Welters

 

Via NY Post,

A tech firm linked to a campaign-donor crony of President Obama not only got the job to help build the federal health-insurance Web site — but also is getting paid to fix it.

 

Anthony Welters, a top campaign bundler for Obama and frequent White House guest, is the executive vice president of UnitedHealth Group, which owns the software company now at the center of the ObamaCare Web-site fiasco.

 

UnitedHealth Group subsidiary Quality Software Services Inc. (QSSI), which built the data hub for the ObamaCare system, has been named the new general contractor in charge of repairing the glitch-plagued HealthCare.gov.

 

Welters and his wife, Beatrice, have shoveled piles of cash into Obama’s campaign coffers and ­apparently reaped the rewards.

 

...

 

The couple have been frequent guests at the White House.

 

Visitors logs show at least a dozen visits between the two by the end of 2012, the most recent information available.

 

The entire Welters family has gotten into the donation game.

 

The Welters, along with their sons, Andrew and Bryant, have contributed more than $258,000 to mostly Democratic candidates and committees since 2007.

 

What’s more, UnitedHealth Group is one of the largest health-insurance companies in the country and spent millions lobbying for ObamaCare.

 

...

 

The insurance giant’s purchase of QSSI in 2012 raised eyebrows on Capitol Hill, but the tech firm nevertheless kept the job of building the data hub for the ObamaCare Web site where consumers buy the new mandatory health-­insurance plans.

 

QSSI has been paid an estimated $150 million so far, but officials couldn’t say how much more the company might collect on the ­repair contract.

Might be worth your brother's time to send an email to Quality Software Services.  Who knows, they might outsource the job to him for 100 times his going rate, $2,700.?  At that rate, he could re-outsource it to a couple of Indian Computer Science PhD students for $270. each, and pocket the difference.

The Obama administration doesn't want single payer, never did. This a program written by and and for the Health Insurance Cartel. The is the best example of the Fascist business model we have. Get the government to make something mandatory with subsidies for the lower classes and the sit back and loot and rape the American people. The the real evil in this system is the Health Insurance Companies.

I say you are wrong. This guy started out in politics and after leaving gov employment, tried self employment and failed several times. His big break was putting together a group that won the largest PA medicare contract. He is peas in a pod with big gov and none of these assholes that run these companies gives one shit if they are still in business as private concerns two years from now. These insurance companies will be nationallized, just like the gov has been threatening to do to just about every critical industry in America. All of these upper level managers are not concerned as most have already stolen plenty and will likely be lined up for cushy gov guaranteed jobs. Government control is and has always been their goal, and even though lots of criminals will be profitting from this,the goal is still the goal.

Yes, Papasmurf, the most important thing is that "Everyone subsidizes the middleman."

This is now fundamental to the fake democracies throughout the Anglo-American world. It is systematic and systemic:

http://www.dailyfinance.com/2013/11/02/top-5-defense-contractors-influen...

"... the defense sector contributes less money than other sectors, such as health care ..."

The only differences are which special interest groups happen to be the most dominant at different times. The "profit from disease systems" have recently been the biggest single group of players influencing politics, so that there can be more taken by their middlemen! Not only has so-called "health care" been contributing more money overall to politicians, but also the final result is that America's "profit from disease systems" tortures to death at least an order of magnitude more people than the military does. The accumulating effect of the ways that politics has been dominated by its funding has resulted in America being the world's leader in debt and death. Although it is easy to come up with theoretical solutions, in practice the runaway systems of legalized lies, backed by legalized violence, which had at their central core the funding of the political processes, have become terminal social sickness and insanity.

I can't help but interject, regarding your dissagreement with 'El Tuco'.

When you get a 2 X 4 up your ass, your balls go to the wall.

Do you know what 'Balls To The Wall' actually means, 'malikai'?

It was a description of the pilots of the RAF during WWII, regarding their manouevers against the Luftwaffe, over the skies of England. It seems that the stops in the 'joysticks' of the aircraft pivoted on 'balls', and when these 'joysticks' were pulled to their stops, these same stops were called 'walls': Hence, the descriptor in popular vernacular 'balls to the wall'.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MB37Xobja4w

When you get a 2 X 4 up your ass, your balls go to the wall. This ball wrecks you (much the same as a 2 X 4 does).

EITHER WAY, WE'RE FUCKED!

United Health made a 1.4 billion dollar profit last year the CEO was paid $14 million. Every year our policy goes up 17% wit United Health Care. Under the Afforable Health Care it will drop from $22,000 a year to $9,200 a year. So many of you can spew your hate of banksters daily on this web site and somehow most of you don't get that health insurance is just as rigged and finally something is being done about it.

Generally speaking, most goomint IT systems are set up to fail so that it is easy to steal the taxcow funds.

 The day prior to the false flag BS of 9/11 the War Department served notice that millions times millions went missing with no way to trace the thefts.

 It is long overdue that the tacows must withdraw support for the "system". The last few of the taxcows that actually produce what the rest steal from us must go on strike.

 Don't forget to teach and instruct the young to withdraw their support of the system that has stripped so much real capital from the true producers that recovery from the gombit debt is not possible.

 The under 40 year old cohort should hunt and kill all of those on the active AARP mailing list.

Plenty of room for valid criticism. Racism just make your logic look weak.

As a nation we will all have to find a way out of this mess. There are many black leaders who see what Obama is doing to the perception of their community.

Keep a lid on on the backwater  trash talk and just watch who starts complaining about these obvious issues of cronyism. I'd be more worried about Imelt than this guy. Schmidt too.

When white people hire in proportions outside of population statistics it is considered racist, but if blacks, hispanics, women or any other perceived minority or "oppressed" group does it its just jiffy OK. Its never been about equality. Its about getting even for real or perceived injustices or just plain crony corruption. I don't support quotas for much of anything but to deny what has occurred is just more denial enabled by political correctness.

The best thing that you can do is to select a way to communicate to the abysmally educated young folks that show them how badly they are being treated by the system.

 A few sentences can illuminate their benighted brains on their screwing from the Community Ratings of UbangiCare. I dragged out some copies of Aaron Russo's "Freedom to Fascism" movie of several years ago. I was struck by the anger of one ill educated 20 yr old when the light went on for him.

 It is a long way to go to get him to actually think about how he is screwed by TPTB, but it is a start on his education that he never got in the goomint skoolz.

 Take the time to get a kid started on the path to seeing what the system has laid out for him.

It's unfortunate to say the least, pure stupidtiy to put it bluntly, when you diminish fair criticism using racial slurs.  Not exactly the way to further your agenda or be taken seriously.

notadouche, point taken, but i am an old school guy. i don't use derogatory language when describing other people, but i don't waste my time getting offended when somebody else does. it's the least of our worries, sticks and stones and all that. if the idiot we're talking about is offended, let him deal with it. it's his problem. a great rule in life, don't ever worry about another man's emotions, save it for your women and children.

Sat, 11/02/2013 - 18:21 | 4116021 notadouche
notadouche's picture

It's not about offending, it's all about effecive communication.  I just think it's more important to get your message across in a productive way and when someone's message is littered with slurs of any kind, in the world we live in today no one of any consequence will be able to listen much less act on that message.  Now if the point is to just to vent and spew racial slurs then of course the message is very effective.  If you on the other hand you care to have a message that may actually accomplish something then use of that kind of language is nothing more than an epic fail and immediately calls into question one's motives and negates the author.   

If it were a good plan and it worked perfectly, the one's using racial slurs would on the surface still complain because of the race of the person who implemented the plan or had the idea.  Not exactly the recipe for a legitmate debate or discussion.

You don't have to care about getting offended, but since your not king of the world then like it or not today's world requires you to worry if your message is offensive to anyone else.  If it is then you might as well just spend your time hollering back at the TV because no one of any consequence can afford to take you serious even when you are making valid points.

okay, fair enough. but in the name of effective communication, nasty is another crayon in the box. most people learn to temper what comes out of their mouths by the immediate consequences of their words. i concede the internet lets people say things they wouldn't dare say in person, but i just want to see a tougher, less effeminate society. political correctness has cost far more good people who dared tell the truth, than stopped those that had any actual hate in their soul. the man we are talking about here, he and his company just gave us a totally substandard product while charging the taxpayer hundreds of millions of dollars. he deserves a far harsher penalty than someone calling him an ape. peace

Attacking someone's ideas as nasty and as you want is fair game all day everyday.  Using slurs is more about just having some type of respect for human beings and shouldn't be considered PC.   When you use racial slurs to attack someone's ideas you give Jimmy Carter credibility when he states "if you don't agree with Obama it is because your racist."  A notion that, in reality, has zero credibility and he should've been shouted down the moment he said something like that.  But when you use race, religion etc... you lose the ability to disavow Jimmy Carer's and other's of his ilk's view.   Leave that junk out of the conversation you get to be as nasty as you want in attacking the idea you despise.  Otherwise it comes off as attacking something else other than the idea or action you disagree with.

This isn’t crony capitalism. It’s crony communism.

Obamacare is an impossibility, even if Obama’s cronies get the “website” working.  The “spontaneous order” of America’s current healthcare system (still the greatest in the world even with its increasingly creeping government-partnered fascist flaws and fraud) where  billions of interworking individual decisions and information coordinate into orderly supply and demand out of seeming chaos, cannot be gathered into HHS.

This imperial president and his cronies, from the Fed international bankers and his Jewish Cabinet Court on down, will destroy all that exists in healthcare for Americans in the name of progress and fairness and justice. This is communism, put in place and operated by a central authority using the tools of a police state and the deceit of a Stalin five-year plan.

And to do it, to destroy the individual, his freedom and his sovereignty, they will lie and lie and lie – i.e., the premiums of the typical family will be cut $2500, i.e., healthcare is a “right,” i.e., you can keep your old policy, i.e., you can keep your doctor, and:

“I don’t think we should go back to the daily cruelties and indignities and constant insecurity of a broken health-care system, and I’m confident most Americans agree with me.”

Obama’s a serial liar on a serial list of issues –lying in the face of skyrocketing premiums, lying as deductibles double and triple, lying as the breadwinners of families are reduced to part-time work because of OC, lying while Obama pads healthcare welfare rolls with illegals and amnesty and public employees, including the Congressional staff, and makes Medicaid the center of America's healthcare plan…

And the worst is yet to come… It’s called graft.

America should take care of her current healthcare system; not throw the baby out in the cold with the bath water.

Run government like a jury - pick 500 people at random and let 'em run things for 4 years, spend 6 months after that telling the next 500 where things are up to.

A camera in every government office that can be accessed at any time by anyone over the internet, to keep 'em honest.

No money or time wasted on 'elections' and associated bullshit.

They are not getting back in, so no cronyism/revolving doors like we have now
