The raft of problems connected to the launch of HealthCare.gov appears to have sunk the fortunes of the private contractor paid for running the site. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, charged with overseeing the health insurance marketplace, announced Saturday that it had awarded Accenture Federal Services a one-year contract for $45 million to implement technical improvements to the site. Accenture will replace the CGI Group, which developed the website for the CMS and was at its helm during its disastrous launch in October.
