House GOP Watchdog Subpoenas Leader Of The HealthCare.gov Fix

One of the House Republicans’ top watchdogs issued a subpoena on Tuesday morning for all correspondence between government officials and the contractor picked to lead the repair process for the government’s troubled online health insurance marketplace.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., also demanded the contract between Quality Software Services, or QSSI, and the Health and Human Services Department along with the total value of government payments the contractor has received for building and repairing Healthcare.gov.

Officials picked QSSI to lead what the government is calling a “tech surge” to fix glitches that prevented the majority of HealthCare.gov visitors from enrolling in insurance plans through the site during its first month online.
