With just days to go before open enrollment ends on March 31, Maryland officials are reportedly planning to abandon its glitch-ridden ObamaCare website and replace the health exchange with technology from Connecticut’s marketplace.
The Washington Post reported late Friday that the board of the Maryland exchange will vote on changing the system that has cost at least $125.5 million at a meeting on Tuesday, the day after the end of the first enrollment period under ObamaCare. …

Has anyone checked to see if Connecticut’s website works?
Not a problem, the tax payers will pay for their f-up AGAIN.
There’s no decent excuse to have legislated these government-run faux market exchanges to begin with—let alone spend the billions and billions that have been wasted on them and not considering the total disaster of Obamacare, of which they are part.

No sympathy. Maryland is deep blue and the voters there deserve this.
I know that the software technology from Washington States’ exchange (which does work) would basically be non-portable to any other state’s implementation, except for elements of the front end, because it is so tightly interwoven with the state’s proprietary DSHS and existing Health Care Authority databases.

Elections have consequences.

I cruised it briefly. Seems to work better than the BOcare site, but that isn’t saying too much :-)
“Maryland to reportedly abandon $125M ObamaCare exchange for new system”
Doubling down on stupid.
Why spend 125 mill on a friend’s software firm when you can spend 250 mill and make two friends very happy?
Thanks to price controls and progressive taxation we soon won’t have any skilled doctors.
Thanks, socialists.
No one is held accountable for throwing $125 million ? Why? Because it mostly went to Leftists and campaign contributors?
I’m wondering how much went to Axelrod’s PR firm.
