Microsoft offered to help fix ObamaCare site

Microsoft offered to help fix HealthCare.gov but has not provided specific services yet, the software giant told lawmakers in a letter.

The House Oversight Committee sent letters to several technology companies to gain details on the little-described "tech surge" to fix ObamaCare's botched enrollment site. Microsoft replied that it has been in "limited contact" with the White House, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and private contractors since Oct. 1, 2013 on the topic of the sign-up system, and had offered its services to each party. "Microsoft offered to provide technical expertise and assistance," a representative for the company wrote. "The best of our knowledge, no Microsoft employee has provided such services."
