Also, the City of Houston has used Brightidea&amp;#39;s software to update its aged employee suggestion box program. Clearly, the City of Manor is a great program, but does Spigit have any other government clients to speak of? Brightidea has been offering crowdsourcing solutions to governments for years. &lt;/p&gt;

I work for a massive health insurance company that contracts with Medicare and see the accounts of thousands of senior citizens who can&amp;#39;t afford their Part D plans or their Medicare deductibles while aliens and their entire families have these covered by CMS.
