I heard that several people from YC startups and Google are helping out. This is one of the reasons why we're seeing a lot of improvements to the Federal Exchange site.
It's definitely a form of mental dissonance.
The government needs a lot of help. I wish there were more crisis opportunities like this to use as an excuse to hire the right team to build good systems for citizens. Tough to get systems integration above the fold regularly to call attention to the issue.
