Oracle’s $27B VA System Under Fire | Spokane News

Oracle’s top executives are under fire as Congress subpoenas Larry Ellison and Mike Sicilia over a ballooning $27 billion veterans’ healthcare IT project—far exceeding its original $10 billion promise. After Oracle acquired Cerner, cost overruns spiraled, with new contract notices adding $17 billion over 13 years. Lawmakers suspect political ties may have influenced the decision, especially as veterans’ benefits face cuts. Despite the uproar, the VA is accelerating deployments to more hospitals under the current secretary’s leadership, forcing Oracle to answer tough questions about transparency and taxpayer accountability.
