(Bloomberg) — Consultants hired by the Obama administration told top officials at the White House and U.S. health department as early as March that construction of the government’s insurance website was at risk of failure, according to a document released by congressional Republicans.
McKinsey & Co. consultants recommended in a slide presentation prepared for administration officials that the government “streamline decision-making” for the site and “name a single implementation leader.” The New York-based consultants also said the administration should “lock down” technical requirements for the site by April 30. It’s not clear how many of the recommendations were followed.
