The answer
Is consumer enrollment demonstrably ready on the public record? Not demonstrably ready.
- 0 independently verified passes appear in the public excerpts for any of the 7 readiness requirements below.
- 10 planned milestones fell due on or before 2013-09-30 (month-only dates read as due at month end, the lenient reading). None has an observed completion in the excerpts; 2 have only a CMS self-reported completion claim.
- The latest independent assessment, HC1 GAO-13-601 published , is 103 days old and rests mostly on records through early May. It said smooth implementation by October 2013 cannot yet be determined.
- Eligibility and enrollment testing was scheduled to finish by , the opening day itself, according to HC1 GAO-13-601 (p. 21). No capacity or response-time test appears in any excerpt.
Demand before opening
- R1 A dated go/no-go record listing each criterion in this table as pass, fail or waived, with the accountable signer.
- R1 An independent readiness assessment more recent than the GAO report of 2013-06-19.
- R2 End-to-end test report covering account, application, eligibility determination, plan selection and enrollment record, with pass and fail counts and open severe defects, signed by a tester independent of the build team.
- R3 A partner-by-partner and state-by-state list of external test completion dates and results, and the hub operational readiness sign-off.
- R4 Count of certified QHPs per FFE state, the load confirmation date, and a reconciliation of displayed rates and benefits against issuer filings.
- R5 Navigator award list with award dates and training completion; call center staffing level, scripts and test-call results for applications; in-person system availability test.
- R6 Load test results stating tested concurrent users and transactions against forecast demand, measured response times against SLA targets, and a tested queue, throttle and rollback capability.
- R6 Signed SLAs with states and federal partner agencies.
- R7 Current contract and task-order list with obligations to date, scope of work, and the party accountable for end-to-end integration testing.
If that evidence cannot be produced: a narrower opening
- Keep the public date but open only functions that have a dated, independently checked pass; label the rest as not yet available.
- Admit traffic at no more than the tested capacity behind a queue, with a published status page and a tested rollback.
- Hold plan selection and enrollment transmission to issuers until the end-to-end test passes; let consumers create accounts, browse plans and start applications, with the call center and in-person channels as documented fallbacks.
- Publish a daily readiness ledger using the same five statuses and expand scope only when a criterion moves to an independently verified pass.
- Use the 92 days between opening and the first day of coverage as a ceiling for staged expansion, not a guarantee: the excerpts do not state the enrollment cutoff for January 1 coverage. (HC2 CMS release, HC4 House majority memo)
How to read every line: five statuses
Status marks are shapes and words, not colors. A planned date that has passed stays planned until the record shows otherwise.
- Claim a statement by an agency, contractor or committee staff about what is or will be true; not a test result.
- Planned a date by which something is expected; a passed date is not evidence of completion.
- Observed an event the record reports as having happened (an award, a start, a publication, an obligation).
- Verified pass a test or review by a party other than the builder showing the function works. None appears in these excerpts.
- Unknown the public excerpts do not show whether it happened.
Launch-eve requirements and readiness
One row per readiness question, linking the public promise to eligibility, data exchange, plans, consumer assistance, capacity and contractor scope. Day counts appear only between exact dates; "elapsed" means days from a planned date to review close on 2013-09-30.

Evidence room: inspect the quotes behind each question
Each panel holds the verbatim lines from the excerpt files, with the status of each line and what it does not prove. Open any panel directly; with scripts on, the chooser below opens one question at a time.
R1 Overall go-live: 9 quoted lines
Is there a current, independent determination that the marketplace can open for consumer enrollment?
"HHS is on target for open enrollment in the Marketplace, which begins Oct. 1, 2013, and other key milestones approaching in the months ahead. Coverage will begin Jan. 1, 2014."
"The new tools will help Americans understand their choices and select the coverage that best suits their needs when open enrollment in the new Health Insurance Marketplace begins October 1."
"In commenting on a draft of this report, the Department of Health and Human Services emphasized the progress it has made in establishing exchanges, and expressed its confidence that exchanges will be open and functioning in every state by October 1, 2013."
"CMS completed many activities necessary to establish FFEs by October 1, 2013, although many remain to be completed and some were behind schedule."
"While CMS has met project schedules, several critical tasks, such as final testing with federal and state partners, remain to be completed."
"Whether these efforts will assure the timely and smooth implementation of the exchanges by October 2013 cannot yet be determined."
"have been delayed by about 2 months, which has delayed training and other activities."
"Open enrollment in the PPACA exchanges begins October 1, 2013, with coverage effective January 1, 2014."
"As October 1, 2013, approaches, many issues related to readiness, testing, and functionality of exchanges remain. Missed deadlines, delays, and untimely guidance likely will affect areas such as consumer assistance and experience, eligibility accuracy, integration with existing State programs, and interagency coordination."
Not shown by these lines: No independent readiness determination dated after 2013-06-19 appears in the excerpts; GAO then said it cannot yet be determined. The excerpt saying work was delayed by about 2 months does not name what was delayed. Whether the majority staff concerns are borne out: the memo excerpt cites no test result.
R2 Eligibility and enrollment: 4 quoted lines
Can a consumer create an account, apply, receive an eligibility determination and enroll?
"The website will add functionality over the summer so that, by October, consumers will be able to create accounts, complete an online application, and shop for qualified health plans."
"The re-launched Healthcare.gov and new call center will help consumers prepare for the new coverage opportunities coming later this year," said Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Marilyn Tavenner. "In October, HealthCare.gov will be the online destination for consumers to compare and enroll in affordable, qualified health plans."
"CMS expects to complete development and testing of the information technology systems necessary for FFEs to determine eligibility for enrollment into a QHP and to enroll individuals by October 1, 2013, when enrollment is scheduled to begin for the 2014 plan year."
"While CMS has met project schedules, several critical tasks, such as final testing with federal and state partners, remain to be completed."
Not shown by these lines: Whether development and testing finished: GAO reported it as an expectation for October 1, 2013, the opening day itself. Whether the full path from account to enrollment record has passed any end-to-end test.
R3 Data exchange (data hub): 5 quoted lines
Do verification data exchanges with federal partners and states work in production conditions?
"According to program officials, CMS established milestones for completing the development of required data hub functionality by July 2013, and for full implementation and operational readiness by September 2013."
"CMS began conducting both internal and external testing for the data hub in October 2012, as planned."
"Completion of external testing with all federal partner agencies and all states is to be completed by the beginning of September 2013."
"While CMS has met project schedules, several critical tasks, such as final testing with federal and state partners, remain to be completed."
"SLAs between CMS and its federal partner agencies that provide verification data are expected to be completed in July 2013; and"
Not shown by these lines: Whether external testing with all federal partner agencies and all states finished. Whether the hub reached full implementation and operational readiness in September 2013.
R4 Plans (QHPs): 4 quoted lines
Are certified plans loaded with correct information so consumers can compare and shop?
"Once received, CMS, with the assistance of its contractor, expects to evaluate and certify health plans as QHPs by July 31, 2013."
"CMS then expects to finalize the QHP information and load it into the exchange website by September 15, 2013."
"The website will add functionality over the summer so that, by October, consumers will be able to create accounts, complete an online application, and shop for qualified health plans."
"The re-launched Healthcare.gov and new call center will help consumers prepare for the new coverage opportunities coming later this year," said Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Marilyn Tavenner. "In October, HealthCare.gov will be the online destination for consumers to compare and enroll in affordable, qualified health plans."
Not shown by these lines: How many plans were certified, and whether certification finished by July 31, 2013. Whether plan information was finalized and loaded by September 15, 2013, and checked against issuer submissions.
R5 Consumer assistance: 6 quoted lines
Will navigators, the call center and in-person help be able to assist applicants on day one?
"Between now and the start of open enrollment, the Marketplace call center will provide educational information and, beginning Oct. 1, 2013, will assist consumers with application completion and plan selection."
"The re-launched Healthcare.gov and new call center will help consumers prepare for the new coverage opportunities coming later this year," said Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Marilyn Tavenner. "In October, HealthCare.gov will be the online destination for consumers to compare and enroll in affordable, qualified health plans."
"However, the announcement was delayed until April 9, 2013, and CMS officials indicated that there would be one round of awards, with an anticipated award date of August 15, 2013."
"CMS awarded the contract for operation of the call center on April 15, 2013, with the call center to begin operations by June 2013."
"CMS planned to relaunch the healthcare.gov website in June 2013 to provide a greater focus on exchange enrollment."
"CMS plans that the system used by the FFE in states not assisting with consumer assistance activities will be available by the October 2013 initial enrollment date."
Not shown by these lines: Whether navigator awards were made on the anticipated date and whether training finished; that date left 47 days before opening. Whether the call center is staffed, scripted and tested for application assistance, not only education. Whether the in-person assistance system for FFE states is available.
R6 Capacity and performance: 2 quoted lines
Can the system carry expected opening-day volume within agreed response times?
"Service Level Agreements (SLA) between CMS and the states, which define characteristics of the system once it is operational, such as transaction response time and days and hours of availability, are planned to be completed in July 2013;"
"SLAs between CMS and its federal partner agencies that provide verification data are expected to be completed in July 2013; and"
Not shown by these lines: No load, volume or response-time test result appears in any excerpt. Expected peak demand, tested concurrent users and SLA targets are not in the excerpts. Whether the state and federal partner SLAs planned for July 2013 were signed.
R7 Contractor scope and money: 4 quoted lines
Who is building what, under which contract, with how much obligated?
"The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight (CCIIO) has awarded CGI Federal Inc. (CGI), a wholly-owned U.S. operating subsidiary of CGI Group Inc. (NYSE: GIB) (TSX: GIB.A), a contract to build the U.S. government’s federally-facilitated health insurance exchange, Federal Exchange (FX). The contract has an estimated total contract value of US$93.7 million over a two-year base with three, one-year option periods. The US$55.7 million base contract has been awarded."
"Under the contract, CGI will work with CCIIO to develop and implement the Federal Exchange in line with the provision in the Affordable Care Act that requires the creation of a competitive health insurance marketplace for States and territories to help bring insurance coverage to 34 million additional Americans."
"For one contract, with CGI Federal, CMS obligated about $88 million for activities to support establishment of the FFEs, such as information technology and technical assistance."
"CGI Federal Inc" | "FFE information technology and healthcare.gov" | "$87,997,938"
Not shown by these lines: Whether the GAO-listed CGI Federal contract is the same award CGI announced on 2011-12-01: the announcement gives no task-order identifier. Obligations after March 31, 2013 and any contract modifications. Which party is accountable for end-to-end integration and testing across contractors and partners.
Dated timeline on a true date axis
Vertical position is proportional to calendar date in each panel. Exact dates are point marks; month-only dates are bars spanning the whole month, because the record does not say which day. Labels are pushed apart where dates crowd, and a thin leader line points to the true date.

Contractor scope: award estimate is not obligation, and obligation is not spending
CGI figures on one scale (unit: US$ million)
Dashed outline: estimate. Open outline: announced base. Solid: obligation.| Figure | Amount (US$) | What it is | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Award estimate, announced | US$93.7 million | Contractor's estimate of total value if all option periods are exercised; a potential ceiling, not money obligated or spent. Terms: a two-year base with three, one-year option periods. | HC3 CGI release |
| Base contract, announced as awarded | US$55.7 million | Contractor's statement that the base contract was awarded; not an audited obligation figure. | HC3 CGI release |
| Obligated by CMS through | $87,997,938 (about $88 million in GAO text) | Amount CMS obligated to CGI Federal through March 31, 2013 per GAO Table 4; an obligation is a commitment to pay, not an outlay. Line item: FFE information technology and healthcare.gov. | HC1 GAO-13-601 (pp. 32-33) |
| Obligation minus announced base | $32,297,938 | Arithmetic only. The obligation exceeds the announced base by this amount; the excerpts do not say whether options, modifications or another vehicle explain it, or whether GAO's contract is the 2011 award. | HC1 GAO-13-601, HC3 CGI release |
No ratio of obligations to the award estimate is reported: the two figures come from different publishers, dates and possibly different contract vehicles. The announcement and the obligation count are 486 days apart. Federal spending (outlays) for this contract does not appear in any excerpt.
Majority staff concerns are not verified tests
"As October 1, 2013, approaches, many issues related to readiness, testing, and functionality of exchanges remain. Missed deadlines, delays, and untimely guidance likely will affect areas such as consumer assistance and experience, eligibility accuracy, integration with existing State programs, and interagency coordination."
Majority staff position stated in a hearing memorandum; not a GAO finding and not a measured test result. Test results cited in the excerpt: 0. Treat as a list of questions to ask, neither as proof of failure nor as something the agency must rebut with assertions.
By contrast, GAO is independent but older: its excerpts report plans and partial progress, and say whether implementation will be timely and smooth cannot yet be determined HC1 GAO-13-601 (Highlights).
The strongest case for opening on the promised date
- Claim The date is a public commitment restated across the record: CMS and the House majority staff memo raising readiness concerns both give October 1, 2013. HC2 CMS release, HC4 House majority memo
- Observed GAO, the only independent source here, found CMS had met project schedules and completed many activities, and that data hub testing began in October 2012 as planned. HC1 GAO-13-601 (Highlights), HC1 GAO-13-601 (pp. 22-24)
- Observed Key procurements are observed, not merely planned: the call center contract was awarded on 2013-04-15 and CMS had obligated $87,997,938 to CGI Federal through 2013-03-31. HC1 GAO-13-601 (p. 29), HC1 GAO-13-601 (p. 33)
- Claim HHS expressed confidence to GAO, and on 2013-06-24 CMS said HHS is on target and that the site was re-launched with a new call center. HC1 GAO-13-601 (Highlights), HC2 CMS release
- Claim Opening enrollment is not the start of coverage: 92 days separate them, leaving time to find and fix problems before anyone's coverage depends on them [INFERENCE from the two dates]. HC2 CMS release, HC4 House majority memo
Limit: Every point above is a claim, a plan or an early-stage observation. None shows that a consumer can complete enrollment end to end at expected volume.
"The re-launched Healthcare.gov and new call center will help consumers prepare for the new coverage opportunities coming later this year," said Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Marilyn Tavenner. "In October, HealthCare.gov will be the online destination for consumers to compare and enroll in affordable, qualified health plans."
