Do you know any competent IT professionals who would want to work in government for that salary?

No. That is why government IT is not very good. It's a terrible environment to work in, and the pay is not good compared to private sector.



Where does all the money go? Healthcare.gov cost $840 million, in 2014 dollars, to develop.


In that case, probably a lot of external consultants. Plus that is just inherently a gigantic project with a million stakeholders etc.


But there's tons of very very large projects and they surely don't cost $840m to develop.
