This GPL violation wasn't a cost savings move. All that was required was to give proper attribution, and to release source code.

Maybe they could have tried taking advantage of this:

The Health department committing software piracy is a pretty remarkable blunder to add to the list. As InfoWars asked, will the Department of Homeland Security now have to seize Healthcare.gov for software piracy, like it has with hundreds of previous alleged pirates?

The irony here has been pointed out before, especially as US copyright law increasingly comes under fire for being outdated in the digital age. During the controversy over the proposed SOPA/PIPA bills a few years back, VICE rounded up a list of online copyright violations made by the members of Congress supporting the bills outlining the very laws they were breaking.
