Dear All,
The debate surrounding healthcare in America has become the primary issue in our country today.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) aka ObamaCare became so contentious that the contest between the Obama Administration and the Republicans in the US House of Representatives resulted in a partial shutdown of the Federal Government.

To help better understand some of the issues surrounding the ACA and the Obama Administration here is some information for your consideration.
The Obama Administration decided to select a company by the name of CGI Federal who is a subsidiary of the parent company CGI Group. The headquarters for CGI Group is located in Quebec, Canada. The total amount of money CGI Group was given by the Obama Administration for the ACA project was $678 million, and it was a no bid contract; meaning no other companies were allowed to bid on the contract.

CGI Group has a track record in Canada and according to this Washington Post article the record is not so good:
“Experience in similar types of projects is very important in getting federal contracts. CGI had done work in the healthcare arena, and not all of it good: Its performance on Ontario, Canada's health-care medical registry for diabetes sufferers was so poor that officials ditched the $46.2 million contract after three years of missed deadlines, the Washington Examiner reported. A spokeswoman for CGI says that both parties are bound by confidentiality agreements, but they're working on resolving the situation.”
The Washington Post also explained that the CGI Group has several aims with one of them being, "The ultimate aim is to establish relations so intimate with the client that decoupling becomes almost impossible," read one profile of the company.””
Another article in today’s news the “Daily Caller” spoke to this CGI Group’s ULTIMATE AIM to establish intimate relations and here is a link to it for your consideration.
From the information in the Daily Caller, it appears that the Ultimate Aim to establish an Intimate Relationship was successfully forged through a personal relationship with the president’s wife, Michelle Obama and one of the CGI Federal Top Executives, Toni Townes-Whitney, Senior Vice President of CGI and a Princeton Classmate of Michelle Obama.
Michelle Obama and Toni Townes-Whitney are also both members of the “Association of Black Princeton Alumni”.
The Daily Caller also states that a Mr. George Schindler (President of the GCI Group) became a donor to the Obama 2012 Campaign after his company gained the ObamaCare website contract.
Healthcare is a very important issue for our country today and I hope this information helps you to better understand it.
Best regards,
Ron Kirkish
