Influential members of Congress have asked its investigative arm to probe the beleaguered Cover Oregon health insurance exchange, Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore., announced Thursday in Medford.

Walden joined with Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee Chairman Tim Murphy (R-Penn), Health Subcommittee Chairman Joe Pitts (R-Penn), and House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton (R-Mich) to sign a Feb. 12 letter requesting an investigation to Gene Dodaro, the U.S. Comptroller General who oversees the Government Accountability Office.

Oregon's "Healthcare Exchange" is a dismal failure. About $300 million spent, and no real enrollees. Some are talking about this being more than just "mistakes."

Beginning to sound a little like "Uncover Oregon."  /s

If you would like more information about Oregon, please FReepmail me. I lost my Oregon list when my computer crashed last month.

I am not at all surprised that Obama gave Oregon $304 million of taxpayers' money to build a defective website. Somewhere in there, there is probably a campaign donor who made out literally like a bandit, thanks to Obama's corruption.

It says every one of the members of Congress who signed the letter of concern over this are Republicans. That speaks volumes.

The Governor is likely going to run for re-election...(4th term)....BUT...this could stop him....MAYBE...this IS Oregon afterall....commieland of the west...at least on the west side.

I would love to see someone go to prison over this fraud but won’t hold my breath. I remember when Oregon and Washington were red states, then came Californication. Thanks for posting!

YES....I remember too...I’m from WA...in OR now....and old enough to remember freedom and even Scoop Jackson...a Dem who would be to the right of most GOP now.
