Cover Oregon’s fizzled launch has been a high profile disaster for the state. After spending $160 million, Oregon’s health insurance exchange had exactly zero people sign up for private insurance in the first two months. Now Cover Oregon claims to have enrolled 7,300 people. However, the fine print from the Cover Oregon press release reveals that the suspiciously round number is actually an estimate. In fact, Cover Oregon has not indicated that a single person has paid their first bill, which is the industry’s measure of enrollment.

TERRELL v. LANDRIEU--DEBATE 4 The question that goes to the heart of the matter: (Would you support Bush's decision to go into Iraq if the UN doesn't find weapons of mass destruction?)     by Mia T, 12.03.02   Landrieu's lame answer, an absurdity born out of arrogance and stupidity, reveals why Landrieu and the Democrats are KAPUT. FINIS. HISTOIRE. It was hard not to notice that the reporter who posed the question couldn't believe Landrieu's illogic--stupidity, really...
