The state had, in the course of 17 days, signed up 56,000 people for the health law's Medicaid expansion. In one fell swoop, the state had cut its uninsured rate by 10 percent.

So, let me see if I've got this right:

The state has signed up 56,000 people for Medicaid expansion. They will pay nothing, or virtually nothing, for this "insurance". The program is temporarily funded 90/10 federal/state. In three years, the feds stop making their contribution and the entire burden shifts to the Oregon taxpayers.

And Oregon and the Washington Post are celebrating this?
