Thousands of children and adults were automatically terminated from Medicaid and disability benefits programs by a computer system that was supposed to make applying for and receiving health coverage easier.

    Deloitte should be liable for the medical bills of patients who it wrongly denied coverage for.

    They saved money by skipping QA, they can pay for the fallout of their bugs.

        Why would they get in trouble when they are meeting the goals of the program?

        Kicking people out of Medicare is the point. Whether they’re supposed to be on the program is a secondary concern.

      I agree.

      I also wish Deloitte would stop winning contracts to build their shitty, cobbled together tech solutions for pennies (to the contractors) on the dollar. Their track record for such activity is actually kinda garbage in the industry.
