The Unhealthy Truth About Obamacare's Contractors
Forbes-Nov 10, 2013
The post, “Meet Serco, the private firm getting $1.2 billion to process your Obamacare application,” reported that 90 percent of Serco's U.S. ...
And no doubt Baarack Obama aka Barry Soetoro will give Serco even more before it's over just like he gave BP the Gulf of Mexico and Royal Dutch Shell Iraq's oil,etc..And just as he stated his grandfather was a 'nigger' for aiding the British Empire in Kenya,Obama appears to be following in his grandfather's footsteps if serving the British elites how Obama defines the 'n' word.: http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2013/11/obamacare-paper-phone-web-apps-stuck-in-the-same-queue-memos-note/
The documents – informal “war room notes” prepared daily by senior staff inside the Department of Health and Human Services – were turned over last week as part of a document request to the Republican-chaired House Oversight Committee, which is investigating the rocky rollout of the insurance portal.
On Oct. 21, as Obama promoted use of paper applications at a Rose Garden event, the memos show, official guidance went out to health insurance navigators to “use paper applications rather than go through the call center,” a concerted strategy despite the fact that it promised to be no more smooth.
As of Oct. 18, Serco, one of the contractors tasked with facilitating the enrollment process, had received roughly 3,000 paper applications, according to the documents.
In testimony last week before the House Energy and Commerce Committee, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius conceded that paper applications completed by mail or over the phone would face delays due to the website’s technical glitches.
“They put the application into the site and get a determination,” she said of Serco’s handling of paper applications Oct. 30. “That’s part of what the process is. So the site is part of the portal all the way through.”
On the very same day, when access to HealthCare.gov was denied because of technical outages, Obama was on the stump promoting paper and phone applications as an easy alternative to the website.
“Ultimately, this website, HealthCare.gov, will be the easiest way to shop for and buy these new plans. But, look, there’s no denying it, right now, the website is too slow, too many people have gotten stuck,” Obama said at an event in Boston Oct. 30.
“In the meantime, you can still apply for coverage over the phone, or by mail, or in person,” he said, “because those plans are waiting and you’re still able to get the kind of affordable, reliable health insurance that’s been out of reach for too many people for too long.”...............

Stumbling Serco beware: there are alternatives to outsourcing
Serco is a large, multinational contracting firm. Although it has also won contracts with the private sector, Serco has benefited from the past 25 years of contracting out public services in the UK and across the world. It delivers public transit systems, prisons, IT systems, health services and more besides. Its contracts range from the Iraqi air traffic control system to prisons in Australia, the Dubai metro, or benefits systems in the US. In the UK, 12 out of 17 government departments work with Serco.
At the same time, the company has been involved in a growing list of scandals. The company is alleged to have covered-up the sexual abuse of immigrants in Yarl’s Wood removal centre. A boy died from a burst appendix after Serco “out of hours” services in Cornwall advised putting him to bed. And there have been numerous accusations of fraudulent record keeping.
Corner cutting
Serco bids for contracts which the public sector wants to deliver more cheaply and so it is not really any surprise to see that there are some problems with its services. Often, cutting corners requires a drop in quality, and Serco’s entire business model is based providing cost savings........
