Best guesstimates are the ObamaCare (aka the “Affordable Care Act”) will eventually affect one-sixth of the American economy (and quite possibly destroy it). A large chunk of that money will be spent developing the “health insurance exchanges” that are supposed to allow people to shop in a health insurance marketplace for cheap policies.

Of course, since the rules under ObamaCare mean that there are no affordable policies left, the exchanges have the look of being boondoggles – and very expensive ones too. Infosys, a company headquartered in India, announced that the District of Columbia awarded a $49.5 million contract to Infosys Public Services, its U.S. subsidiary, to help develop D.C.’s exchange.

Why it’s worth tens of millions of dollars to get the contract to design a state (or D.C.) health insurance exchange under ObamaCare.

Infosys’s role is to be the prime systems integrator on the project. It will replace D.C.’s existing Medicaid and eligibility systems. Currently, Infosys is refusing to reveal whether the work will be done in the U.S. or will be outsourced to India. Computerworld Magazine has filed a Freedom of Information Act request to see if it can learn whether the work will be outsourced or whether Infosys will bring cheap “green card” labor in from India to perform the work. All we know is that it’s going to be expensive and that it looks as if, once again, ObamaCare will not benefit American workers.
