Thousands of Americans are upset at the company that created HealthCare.gov, but one organization is presenting them with an award — for defending young people from President Barack Obama’s healthcare law.
Generation Opportunity, an youth advocacy group, is presenting CGI Federal with the “Youth Defender Award,” according to a press release sent out Tuesday. The award — which features an image of the creepy Uncle Sam featured in the videos GenOpp released in September — was given to the company for creating a website that no one can use.
The press release also congratulated the runner-up, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
“After all, Sebelius had the foresight to hire CGI knowing they had a track record of protecting patients from government-run health care,” the press release reads. “The Canadian government had previously fired CGI’s parent company for failing to create a functioning website for Ontario’s medical registry.”
Congrats, CGI Federal! You’re doing stellar work to help young Americans.
