Oracle Chief Subpoenaed Over $27B VA Health Records Overhaul
TL;DR Summary
The House Veterans’ Affairs Committee subpoenas Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison (and Oracle CEO Mike Sicilia) to explain ballooning costs and delays in the VA’s electronic health records overhaul, a project that has risen from about $10 billion with a 2028 completion to roughly $27 billion with deployments at fewer than 20 sites; GAO says it lacks a full life-cycle cost estimate, and Oracle declined to testify as lawmakers from both parties criticize the project and the company.
