Obamacare Website (Healthcare.gov) is Such A Colossal Failure that Teal Media, Firm That Designed It, Has Removed All Reference To Its Work on the Site

Wanna Get Away … It appears that Teal Media wants to.

As reported at BuzzFeed, Teal Media, a web design firm founded by a former member of the 2008 Obama campaign has removed all information regarding its work on the Obamacare exchange website. It was only just a few days ago that it was touting its role in helping to create Healthcare.gov. Imagine that? With all the negative attention and epic failure the role out of the Obamacare web page has been, who would want their name on this disaster?

Visit the website of Michigan-based design firm Teal Media today and you’d never know designers there helped create HealthCare.gov, the troubled online portal for Obamacare.

Just a few days ago, the site looked very different. Teal Media’s homepage featured its work on Obamacare prominently, placing a link to the firm’s work on one of the most well-known websites in America front and center. Now that link, as well as the page devoted to Teal’s work on HealthCare.gov, have been removed.

Here’s a cached version of what the homepage used to look like. And here’s a cached version of Teal’s page devoted just to its work on HealthCare.gov. That page has been deleted.

Teal Media doesn’t seem interested in talking about its work on HealthCare.gov. A woman who answered the phone at the company’s headquarters immediately referred BuzzFeed to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) at the Department of Health And Human Services (HHS) before a single question was asked. CMS is listed as Teal’s client on the firm’s now-erased HealthCare.gov page.

As Weasel Zippers opines, Barack Obama probably wishes that the focus was still on the government shutdown rather than the train wreck that is Obamacare.

Update I: Teal Media put Heathcare.Gov references back on their website following the report by BuzzFeed.
