It's just not adding up.

The page lists how much money was spent "for the Obamacare website", but it doesn't say what it was for. It gives a grand total of $634 million, but this seems to be made up of 114 contracts, and 379 sub contracts. Going over the list I see contracts for such items as "telecommunications" in the $17 million dollar range.

Going into further detail, scroll down on that page, and it's broken down by the five most expensive items:

Adpe System Configuration
Other ADP & Telecommunications Svcs
It and Telecom- Other It and Telecommunications
Other Professional Services
It and Telecom- Systems Development

Going yet even further, it details the companies involved:

Groupe Cgi Inc
Carahsoft Technology Corporation
Everware-Cbdi North America, INC.

This is not one contract for one project or one website. This is 114 contracts and 379 sub contracts done the Department of Health and Services Department over a five year period. And most likely only a portion of it is related to Obamacare.
