Obama gave Oregon $304 million to build its defective Obamacare website that enrolled zero people

Obama gave Oregon $304 million to build its defective Obamacare website. As of February 28, 2014, exactly zero people had signed up at Oregon’s Obamacare website.

I am not at all, in any way, surprised by this.

Given all of the many, many, many other things that Obama has done, I actually expect things like this to happen.

What I don’t expect is for Obama to do anything about it. Sure, he may pay lip service, and pretend to get all angry and upset. But in the end, he won’t ask for the money back, he won’t fire anyone, and he won’t prosecute anyone for fraud.

Obama didn’t pay for this...We the People did.

Wonder if anyone has a list of how much zero has cost us for his worthless projects?

More than a trillion dollars. It is a tough number to get your head around.

Too bad that sleaze bag can’t be sued into the poor house for all his scams using taxpayer money. There should be a prison term in his future for his theft of public funds.

they could give me money for a crappy website for a product nobody wants and I would do it for 100 million.

Obamacare was originally sold as a way to insure some 30 million (40 million, depending on which number they grab) uninsured.

Considering the amount of waste from the funding for various aspects of Obamacare, it would have been better for taxpayers to have paid for insurance coverage for those uninsured. The failed websites (healthcare.gov, etc.) have cost $millions. That would have paid for a lot of insurance policies.

Of course, Obamacare was never about healthcare coverage; it was about control and destroying the private insurance industry.

==

Ironically, the taxpayers were footing the bill for uninsured who got emergency services anyway. Now that they have lost their old policies, they are faced with new policies with higher premiums and astronomically higher deductibles.

Obamacare is a massive boondoggle. It is so bad that the Dems/Obama/HHS keep kicking the mandates down the road purely for political reasons.

How does Obama just give a dime of money to anybody let alone 306 million? The Congress can only give out money. Oh sure he can do an Executive Order I suppose but I have not heard he did this through EO. Not sure he could do that legally either but that doesn’t stop him most times.

OREGON LIVE REPORT ---O/Care "accidentally" enrolls 4000 illegals Hah. Enrolling illegals was no accident-----the Obamacare web sites are also voter registration sites. Looks like vote-crazed Dems got 4000 votes (that we know of) to help them survive looming 2014 midterms.

The potential voter fraud is catastrophic for us---if every conniving O/Care exchange pulls off this scam.

NOTE WELL: Illegals DO NOT NEED OBAMACARE----they can get free healthcare anytime they frickin' want it.

===========================================

THE OBAMACARE BOONDOGGLE <> insurance companies and hospitals knelt in obeisance b/c they were promised Obamacare would garner 20-30 million new enrollees----paid for by the benevolent government.

<><> Obamacare does nothing to address the increase costs of medical care from profiteering and political paybacks (Nancy Pelosi where are you?),

<><> It also avoids standardizing state regulatory requirements,

<><> does nothing to reduce the high cost of medical schools and medical lawsuits.

<><> does not require non-invasive and money saving therapies found in naturopathic, chiropractic and acupuncture care.

<><> calculatedly ignores a serious discussion of illegal vs legal enrollees.

$300,000,000.00! Where did the money go? Why is it that no one investigates this financial fraud? Do no one have “standing”? Does no one have intact ethics? People should be in prison.

Another 500 million went into the failed MahdiCare website and disappeared without a trace, bringing us up to a total of over 800 million. For some strange reason I suspect this went to all sorts of DemonCraps, and the DemonCrap party and, most of all, the Mahdi and Moochelle.
