Gov. John Kitzhaber on Friday downplayed the problems that have plagued Oregon’s health insurance exchange and urged people who need insurance by Jan. 1 to fill out a paper application instead of waiting for online enrollment to work.
Nobody has been able to enroll in health insurance through Cover Oregon, the state’s health insurance exchange, because software glitches have prevented the website from accurately determining whether people qualify for federal subsidies or publicly funded health care through Medicaid.

Oregon has be littered with billboards and flyers and radio ads about Cover Oregon. It’s spent millions of tax dollars to get people to sign up. AS OF TODAY NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON HAS BEEN ABLE TO ENROLL!!
IN A SANE WORLD THIS WOULD BE A BIG NATIONAL HEADLINE!
Yep! A 19 page application form and fast track for EBT users!
When Sibelius was testifying before Congress, some Dem from CA said that the States that set up their own exchanges were just dandy. Then she used Oregon as an example, signing up 56,000. I was shouting at the TV,”OR site isn’t even up you liar! The 56,000 was all Medicaid!”
I don’t know if anyone ever corrected her.

The Washington Post reports that nine out of 10 new enrollees are in Medicaid. Meanwhile, White House documents turned over to investigators in the House show only six people enrolled on the day the troubled website launched.
The Washington Post: In First Month, The Vast Majority Of Obamacare Sign-Ups Are In Medicaid
The first month of the new health law’s rollout reveals an unexpected pattern in several states: a crush of people applying for an expansion of Medicaid and a trickle of sign-ups for private insurance. This early imbalance — in some places, nine out of 10 enrollees are in Medicaid — has taken some experts by surprise. The Affordable Care Act, which expanded Medicaid to cover millions of the poorest Americans who couldn’t otherwise afford coverage, envisions a more even split with an expanded, robust private market (Kliff, 10/31).
The Washington Post: Obamacare’s Launch Looked Even Worse From The Inside
Healthcare.gov had tallied exactly six successful enrollments by the morning of Oct. 2, new documents released by the House Oversight Committee show. By the end of Oct. 2, the health law Web site that serves 36 states had received 248 insurance enrollments (Kliff, 10/31).
Politico: Six Enrolled On Health Site On Day 1
Only six people enrolled in health insurance via the Obamacare exchanges on the website’s first day, newly released documents reveal. “War room notes” obtained by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and posted by CBS News from the morning of Oct. 2, the day after the exchange site opened, show that amid ongoing problems with the site, just six people had completed enrollment as of that morning (Kopan, 11/1).
NBC News: Only 6 Able To Sign Up On Healthcare.Gov’s First Day, Documents Show
The six enrollments that had been completed by the morning of Oct. 2 were spread across Blue Cross Blue Shield North Carolina, Blue Cross Blue Shield Kansas City, CareSource and Healthcare Service Corp., the documents say. Notes from an Oct. 2 “PM” meeting say that that “direct enrollment is still not working,” and “consumer access issues are occurring; some estimates show 40,000 people in the waiting room.” At the time of that report approximately 100 enrollments had been completed (Thorp, 10/31).
CBS News: Obamacare Enrollments Got Off To Very Slow Start, Documents Show
For 31 days now, the Obama administration has been telling us that Americans by the millions are visiting the new health insurance website, despite all its problems. But no one in the administration has been willing to tell us how many policies have been purchased, and this may be the reason: CBS News has learned enrollments got off to an incredibly slow start. Early enrollment figures are contained in notes from twice-a-day “war room” meetings convened within the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services after the website failed on Oct. 1. They were turned over in response to a document request from the House Oversight Committee (Attkisson, 10/31).
Reuters: Enrollment In Obamacare Very Small In First Days: Documents
Enrollment in health insurance plans on the troubled Obamacare website was very small in the first couple of days of operation, with just 248 Americans signing up, according to documents released on Thursday by a U.S. House of Representatives committee (Cornwell and Morgan, 10/31).

The state should be judged on whether people who want insurance are able to sign up, not whether the website works, the governor said.
As in "The state should be judged as to whether we mean well enough." I swear to God, these liberals are so far out, they might as well be in another galaxy, let alone this solar system.
These statists can go pound sand.
The website is the primary way to sign up, and paper applications are still entered in the dysfunctional computer system. Additionally, it will be almost impossible to compare policies and confirm premiums/subsidies without some portion of the system working.
I thought it would be hard to top the Oregon renewable energy tax credit debacle, but I was wrong.
