WASHINGTON — The international telecommunications company Verizon has been tasked with helping the government fix the federal health exchange, USA TODAY has learned.

An informed source in the telecommunications industry said Verizon's Enterprise Solutions division has been asked by the Department of Health and Human Services to improve the performance of the HealthCare.gov site, which is a key component of the Affordable Care Act. The source spoke on condition of anonymity because the announcement had not been made official.

Why don't they also get "Bob's Programming" involved????

They should have borrowed some tech folks from Amazon.

I still say techs from a porn site would have been more apropriate and also would have been more fun to hear Obammy explain from the rose garden.

I think the tender moment during the speech when Obama went to the rescue of the pregnant woman behind him wearing the red dress that looked like a clothes basket with a hole for her head was staged.

She has this look like; whoops, I'm glad I'm wearing incontinence undergarments.
