The board chair of Colorado’s Obamacare exchange said in off-the-cuff remarks Wednesday that the state-run operation may not be able to cut it financially.
Sharon O’Hara, board chair of Connect for Health Colorado, was pushing the board’s pick for a new CEO of the exchange for state lawmakers’ approval Wednesday when she made the comments, according to Denver’s 9 News. O’Hara expressed confidence in Robert Malone’s ability to right the troubled exchange’s finances — if it’s possible at all.
“If this is doable,” O’Hara said, “he can make it happen.”
When pressed on her qualifier by Republican state Sen. Beth Martinez Humenik, the chairwoman admitted that she’s not sure of the exchange’s viability.
“I have my doubts on good days,” O’Hara said. “Today is not one of my good days.”
O’Hara walked back her comments after the meeting in a letter to state lawmakers, saying she wanted to “add to” her response.

“O’Hara walked back her comments after the meeting in a letter to state lawmakers, saying she wanted to “add to” her response.”
Translation:
“I got a call from the White House, with talking points they demanded that I use.”
Dayum!
If these s***birds are going to keep their hoity-toity jobs with gold plated benefits, I guess we better start pitch-forking tax dollars into these 14 state Democratic money pit/black hole boondoggles.
(And we’ll need a catchy acronym for cover ... like ‘TARP’.)
Ya think? :-)
Digging around a bit, it looks like Colorado has to come up with a ~$180 bucks per enrollee to take the place for the loss of direct federal grants. Supposedly it costs $25M to run the exchange and there are ~141K signups this year.
The Big Payback: that’s what I’m waiting for after the long trail of abuses from the imperial government.
Wisdom from one who understands pyramid selling.
