"CGI Group, the Montreal-based IT consulting company behind the botched rollout of the Federal Healthcare.gov site, has been removed from the Massachusetts Health Connector project. This comes about two months after being removed from Healthcare.gov, and a few weeks after CGI admitted the MA site 'may not be fully functioning by the end of June, and that one option under consideration is to scrap the multi-million-dollar site and start over.'
Like Oregon's similar troubles, Massachusetts uses paper submissions as a workaround to meet Federal sign-up requirements. 'The paper backlog fell to 21,000 pending applications, from 54,000 two weeks ago.'
If you are in the US, have you used Healthcare.gov or a State equivalent? If you are not in the US, do you use similar online systems in your nation?"

healthcare.com? Wrong site. Did you mean healthcare.gov? I would be very afraid of what healthcare.com is doing with the information you gave to them. No offense, but that detail matters, and at the risk of coming off like a bit of a jerk, I would mod your comment down overrated if I didn't reply because healthcare.com != healthcare.gov. We are talking about government owned sites. At the bottom of healthcare.com's main page there is a disclaimer stating they are not affiliated with any government organization.
