Son of a Glitch!

1- Watching the House investigation committee plow into the half cooked O'Care monomentional roll out, incurring glitches as gleaned from the four major subcontractors CQI,RSI,EqualFax and Serco. These agencies reported to a governmental agency CMS, who reports to HSS. There could be ~50 other smaller sub-contractors reporting to the four noted above. 2-Frau Fuhrer will appear next week to testify. If she is still heading up HSS. 3-It had become obvious to me for a long time neither Frau Fuhrer nor pp were ever exposed to the elements of project or task management. Their approach was always political dictate and delegate the details. It is the details that come up and bits you in the ass, Sir. 4-I spent most of my career in project/task management mostly as the project manager(PM) but also as a subcontractor to another colleague. Task management follows the same principles. 5-The PM is totally accountable and responsible for time management, manpower/equipment resourses, meeting the completion bench marks, financial budgeting and manageing cash flow, plus a weekly status report through the entire parabolic curve or life cycle of a project including post start up problems/ solutions. Apparantly Frau Fuhrer nor the Son of a Glitch believe this was necessary, just keep the subcontractor(s) feet to the fire. That is a fools world! 6-Oh! A BFD, the scope of work must be frozen early on, and any change requests/orders must be cleared throuigh the PM not the CEO of the corporation, in this case the guy who lives in the WH. pp made many field changes to O'Care on the fly, when ever he felt like it,(which on the surface are totally unconstitional)and may/or may not advised the PM Frau Fuhrer. The is reasonable doubt, that HSS was always in the loop, and if this were true what happens to the the hired hands generating/interpeting the 11,000,000,000 words of the ACA. I believe the Constitution of the US of A, word count totaled was ~4,500. 7-The real test of the ACA comes some time in 1Q14, when those enrolled, actually sign up for benefits. This is one of the WH's field changes of bait and switch on the fly. Telling the customer what the benefit(s) costs upfront would cause sticker shock and not sign up, and pay the penality. pp made another field change, creating another glitch. 8-The WH's need 7,000,000 new customers by 03.31.2014 and at least half to be young, health, ages >27 to say 35 candidates, willing to pay premiums and deductables through the nose, just to meet a break even point for the program. The older, more sickly folks will follow pp to the promised land and sign up. 9-Noah, I don't this boat will float!
