(Reuters) – The White House official brought in to fix the U.S. government website created to enable Americans to buy insurance under President Barack Obama’s healthcare law said on Friday that healthcare.gov will be working smoothly for most users by the end of November.
Jeffrey Zients told reporters in a conference call that Quality Software Services Inc, or QSSI, will serve as a general contractor to oversee the repairs. The website has not had a technology company overseeing the entire project. Instead, the government decided early on that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services would serve as the system integrator.
The company, a unit of health insurer UnitedHealth Group, already has a technology contract related to the website and testified on Thursday to a congressional panel about problems with the system.
