Oregon throws in the towel on Odumbocare

Are you illiterate? They signed up ZERO people through their site and spending $250 million. That is IMPOSSIBLE to do.

And they have now announced they're scrapping their failed venture.

So yes, they're throwing in the towel.

 

Without rereading the article, as I recall, they signed up zero single-session users, but 245k users did, with multiple sessions, successfully sign up.

But anyway, they're not "throwing in the towel" on Obamacare, but on their inhouse web portal. And adopting the federal portal.

 

DH you seem to be an angry man...what's up with that

 

Obamacare's Poll Numbers Improve In Republican Districts

"WASHINGTON -- Attitudes toward the Affordable Care Act continue to shift in the law’s favor, even in Republican-held congressional districts, a new poll set to be released Monday by a Democratic firm will show.

"The poll, which was conducted by Democracy Corps in battleground congressional districts and shared in advance with The Huffington Post, shows 52 percent of respondents want to “implement and fix” the 2010 health care reform law versus 42 percent who want to “repeal and replace” it. Those numbers were 49 percent to 45 percent, respectively, in the firm's December poll.

"The favorable trend toward Obamacare has been witnessed not just in Democratic districts but also in Republican districts.

"According to the findings, 43 percent of respondents in districts held by a Republican member of Congress now say they oppose the health care law because it “goes too far.” That number was 48 percent in December. Opponents still outnumber the 41 percent who say they favor the law. However, Democracy Corps also registers 9 percent of respondents in Republican districts who say they oppose the law because it does not go far enough, a group that ostensibly includes a chunk of voters who wanted a more liberal piece of legislation. (How big that chunk is, is unclear.)

"In Republican districts that are the most likely to flip to Democratic control in the 2014 elections, the shift of opinion toward the Affordable Care Act is equally pronounced. Fifty-four percent of respondents from those districts now support implementing and fixing the law versus 40 percent who support repealing and replacing it. In December, those numbers were 48 percent and 44 percent, respectively."

LOL!

I expect that Oregon will not be the only state to throw in the towel on their state-run Obamacare site and program.

 

I think he also misspelled his name, it should be "Doh !"

Let's be glad that he is NOT a teacher. LOL

 

Yeah, most anyone I know would be angry if a liberal state, like Oregon, pissed away $250 million dollars on a failed web site.

This whole Odumbocare deal is a time bomb. Read an article today about people who are PO'ed that John Doe can retire early now and get highly subsidized premiums since he can work part time at some job. That kids can stay on parents plan and get their premiums mostly paid for with subsidies. The article concluded by asking WHY we taxpayers are being FORCED to pay for the health care premiums of people who are able to work. That's a key question that deserves discussion. As I've stated before ... this is really just expanded Medicaid (not the actual expansion of Medicaid but Odumbocare ... where the almost 90% who will get subsidies are getting something for nothing).
