Cover Oregon on Friday became the first casualty of the state-run ObamaCare exchanges, as officials formally gave up the fight to offer residents a state health care portal. Instead, Oregon, which has been hemorrhaging millions of dollars on a barely functioning website that has failed to sign up a single person, is turning to the federal government for an out.
Cover Oregon’s full board approved the recommendations made Thursday by an advisory committee to fold its troubled portal and use the federal HealthCare.gov for private policies.

Cover Oregon officially calls it quits, state to use federal ObamaCare site | Fox News


Boy are they in for a shock when the courts rule that subsidies on federal exchanges are illegal.

The state initially paid $134 million to Oracle Corp. to build its online exchange. Cover Oregon also spent more than $3 million on marketing the site, which included radio, television and YouTube ads, spokeswoman Ariane Holm told FoxNews.com last year.

I wonder how many heads on Liberals from Oregon are exploding over Clive Bundy owing $1 million at the same time Oregon pissed away over $137 million on a website that didn't sign a single person up.

Why would the court rules that way?

Also didn't you make a topic about how'd you've "given up" because the fight was over, what happened to that?

Court Will Decide If ACA Language Bars Health Subsidies In 34 States - Forbes


While hundreds of people were rallying for religious liberty on a snowy day outside the U.S. Supreme Court Tuesday, there were heated arguments inside a D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals courtroom a few blocks away, both involving challenges to the implementation of the Affordable Care Act.

The Circuit Court, with Judge Thomas. B. Griffith presiding, heard oral arguments in Halbig v. Sebelius about whether tax subsidies for health insurance can be distributed through exchanges established by the federal government.

I have given up fighting for repeal, too many fools think this pyrite is gold. However, that doesn't mean I'll stop mocking those that think the ACA is all that and a bucket of chicken.

Oh come on, I think a platform of 'no health care for anybody' is a winning hand for you folks on the right. It will be easily as popular as doing away with Social Security was!

And if not for the inane Obama hatred, states would never have needed to break away from the federal system and none of this would have been necessary. Definitely wouldn't have been necessary if we'd just had the public option like the left wanted in the first place, or had a single payer system like the rest of the industrialized world. No, liberals are not happy about anyone wasting the concessions that we were forced to give conservatives in order to get reform passed in the first place. That no one really wants to make use of those concessions proves that they were just a waste in the first place and that they shouldn't have been given.

The vast majority of people in Oregon seem to want the federal program. That no one signed up for the state program demonstrates that the liberal majority didn't want it. Whatever fringe made the state opt out of the federal program contradicted the rest of the people there and cost the state a hundred million dollars. If not for all the nonsense anti-Obama crap, there would never have been the need for states to have an opt out option, and none of this would have ever happened.

Seems when they polled those in Oregon that the majority wants Repeal. So how can you say they want to go with the Federal Program? Moreover this says nothing about with their own Organizational skills and the way they do business. They way they ran the show? Wheres the money?

What, did they look at Maryland.....and note those millions of dollars lost and wasted and think they to can just up and do the same. Oh.....we need to start over. Just a few more hundred million and we can get it Right......huh?
 
So an interesting question is: should there have simply been a single national exchange all all along (the House's proposal back in 2010) or is a state-based approach with a federal fallback if states prefer not to design/operate their own exchange, or prove incapable of doing so, (the Senate's approach, which became law) still the right way to have gone?

How about free market reforms and abandoning this idiotic stupidity that government should force others to pay for you heslthcare. Giving up control of your healthcare, and demanding others pay for your care means giving up your freedom and liberty and infringing on others.

I think there should have been 50 state exchanges.

Heya Mr V. :2wave: So what was the total cost of failure by both Maryland and Oregon? How many more Democratically led state exchanges will continue to make excuses for the failure and then.....wants to start all over again? Do you think that they can be trusted with any money after this year?

The only shocking thing I know is that cons like you continue to give any credence to the same liars that told you

"there are death panels"
"we stopped supporting the mandate way before 2009"
"Obamacare is unconstitutional"
"no seriously, we stopped supporting the mandate way before 2009"
"Obamacare wont meet its goals"
"there will be a death spiral"
" I swear, we really did stop supporting the mandate way before 2009"
