To be fair, three Canadians were part of the tech surge to fix healthcare.gov: http://business.financialpost.com/2014/06/21/the-president-n...

I don't think the nationality of the developers was a factor in healthcare.gov's disaster launch. The problems were related to systematic disorganization, and the heart of darkness was inside the government itself and its IT procurement system.

True - my comment was more along the lines of spending the project funds with a US based company instead of sending it outside. Like, have American companies build the American healthcare system. Especially for a no-bid contract...

It wasn't "no-bid", by any normal definition. It went through the standard federal technology procurement process.
