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.

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.

“MSNBC Host Calls Cover Oregon Failure ‘Biggest Obamacare Train Wreck In The Entire Country’”

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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?

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.
