No state fared worse during the launch of
Obamacare’s health insurance exchanges than Oregon. The Beaver
State was the first to announce a major delay in opening its online
insurance portal, and the technology for the project—a $240 million
project heavily funded through federal grants—never worked.
Earlier this year the state announced that it was scrapping the
project in order to join the federal exchange.
What was intended to be one of Obamacare’s biggest, boldest
state-run exchanges, a model for the nation, turned out to be one
of its most spectacular failures. Now the state and its contractor
are both trying to weasel out of responsibility—by blaming it on
the other guy, writes Peter Suderman.
