Oregon became the first state to dump its own troubled online health exchange and use the federal marketplace instead.

Isn't that like trading in a rusted-out Chevy Vega for a Yugo?

How can a state be given 300 million dollars and not be able to build
a functional website is beyond me. But there again, it wasn’t that long ago
Oregon was still counting votes by hand.

With the kind of money they’re spending, they could give each US citizen a $ million and just get rid of these programs.

What no refunds of the taxpayers money that was given to the LIB crony-capitalists? These criminals should be in prison. Where is an Attorney General with integrity and a good forensic accountant with same?

You do hit on a point. What are these programs for except for enriching political cronies? It's stealing from the many to give to the few. They create new bloated bureaucracies that are armed against us. If they gave the money to us, the economy would be on fire instead of moving along like a slug.

Imagine if they didn’t take the money from people in the first place, imagine if this money went to scholarships for poor kids to attend private schools, imagine if they stopped spending our money on all kinds of boondoggles like Amtrak and farm subsidies,.... and I could go on and on and on.

Not that I am upset that Obamacare keeps failing.

But I just don’t understand how an exchange fails. The concept is so trivial — you do bids from insurance companies to meet a certain standard, and those that agree, you offer them all on a simple online interface.

Companies used to do this all the time, offering different insurance to their employees. And there are a dozen excellent examples of online purchasing sites.

Heck, there are car insurance websites that do exactly this job for car insurance, rather than health insurance. How much would it cost to just pay one of them to provide the service? Certainly not $200 million dollars.

We build jet planes that keep our country save for less money than Oregon spent on a web site to sell insurance from 3rd parties. How is that possible?

It failed because the only people they could sign up were illegal aliens. Not one citizen signed up according to the article posted a couple of days ago.

The bigger question today is "WHERE IS THE MONEY"?

Obama gave Oregon $305 million of taxpayers’ money to build its defective Obamacare website that enrolled zero people. No one will get punished, fired, or prosecuted for this scam.

How will they deal with this one? Donald Sterling’ a liberal elite - his hatred is that of a ‘superior’.... He probably has the same contempt for conservatives....
