MSNBC’s Chris Hayes called the now defunct Cover Oregon website the “biggest Obamacare train wreck in the entire country” Friday on MSNBC.

“Today the state gave up and called for help on what has to be the biggest Obamacare train wreck in the entire country,” he said. “Oregon became the first state to dump its own troubled online health exchange and use the federal marketplace instead. Oregon spent $248 million of $305 million in federal grant, including $3 million on this cool ad campaign.”

Oregon Democrats like Gov. John Kitzhaber and other state bureaucrats are now left holding the keys following the botched rollout. House Oversight & Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R., Calif) called for Oregon to refund the $305 million they received from the federal grant.

The "Palace Guards" protect Obama on a daily basis:

A few hundred million here and few million there, pretty soon you're talking REAL money. With 305 million dollars Oregon could have provided healthcare for thousands of people that need it.

Funny they will never mention that part.

I call Obamacare the biggest Obamacare train wreck in the country.

[Gaffer]

Imagine if they gave every state a few hundred million dollars....

If the Courts rule that subsidies for those in the federal exchanges are against the law, Oregon is going to be double pissed.

Exactly what Obama and the rest of the RATS wanted all along; “single payer”!

[jiggyboy]

Fine, but don’t dare think that any of the leftists in Oregon will now think that Obamacare is a bad idea. It’s far more likely that this means to them that the all-powerful Federal Government is doing a better job than the state government, which they believe is as it should be.

No problemo.

My grandkids, yet to be born, will be more than happy to pay for all this.

If you want to see the TORTURE that the people in Oregon went through because of Obamacare, watch this:

What’s the latest on the court case?

[newheart]

the state gave up and called for help

Things must be behind schedule. The intent of Obamacare is to get ALL the states to cry "Uncle!" and turn to the feds.

Oregon makes Maryland look like pikers.

Maryland only wasted $90 million on their Obamacare websiteb before abandoning it.

Democrats suffer from Dunning-Kruger Effect which basically states that stupid people are too stupid to realize they’re stupid.

Here's one ruling from this year regarding subsidies being available through the federal exchange even though the law does not allow for it:

Judge backs Obamacare subsidies on federal health exchange

[molson209]

100’s of millions here 100’s of millions there ,Obama gave out stimulus money to states in the name of health care and they wonder why donations to the Demonut Party are up

[PGR88]

A leftist would spin it to mean that the Federal Government is there to save the states from their foibles and petty politics.

[GOPJ]

Time to vote democrats out of office...

You're right - that part is never mentioned...

[MamaTexan]

Obama gave out stimulus money to states in the name of health care

Which was just for the 'start-up'. After a few years, the States have to pay for it ALL.

2nd biggest.
