Oregon, one of a handful of states that got federal money to be an “early innovator” in an online health-care registration system, now has the only system in the nation that still hasn’t launched.

It was fall 2012, and Oregon was one of a handful of states that had received huge payouts from the federal government to be an “early innovator” and build a model that other states would emulate.

Today Oregon trails them all. Nearly three months after it was supposed to go live, the online enrollment system is the only one in the nation that still hasn’t launched, and the state has had to rely exclusively on paper applications.
Officials lay much of the blame on technology contractor Oracle Corp. But the fiasco also was fueled by state officials’ own actions, according to interviews with officials and a review of public records by The Associated Press. Among the problems: a refusal to back down from an ambitious vision even when there were signs it was flailing; a decision to do complex work on their own; and a botched handoff of the work from one agency to another.

HAHAHAA, I sure hope Barry can get the millions of signups he needs in the next... few hours.
I'm not optimistic.
How anyone can want government to run healthcare is beyond me. This is just another classic example.
I haven’t heard about any increase in plaid onesies sales. I don’t think the Pajamaboy did ObamaCare much good.

Obegon.
Obegone.
I’ve got this crazy idea. Why not let the insurance companies spend their own money to set up their own websites so that they can sell their own policies directly to the public. Think of how much money that would save, and how many people would be able to sign up with websites that actually work.
JAVA....that irritating popup that keeps trying to get me to update....should I?>?>

Oregon ping.....EXCHANGE news....again....$300 million down the drain...
LOL!

Not possible.
The government sites are all about subsidized policies. Private companies can’t get access to government financial records to determine who qualifies for subsidies or not.
oracle didn’t make java. They bought it. Java was developed for running appliances as i can run on any operating system. Sun Microsystems did a lot to improve the language. Oracle bought out Sun and inherited java with it. Java is one of the neatest languages i’ve written code in.
Nope,....
Oh good grief. Include a subsidy calculator with the website. Then apply to the government for a subsidy that will be paid directly to your insurer. It ain’t rocket science.
How can I make the stupid POPUP stop? It’s the only one I get
