The Oregon Obamacare exchange has received $305 million in taxpayer-funded federal grants, spent $160 million on its busted website, dropped $10 million on hipster promotional ads, erroneously enrolled 4,000 illegal immigrants in full Oregon Health Plan coverage contrary to federal law, and has not enrolled a single Oregonian online.
In short, the Oregon Obamacare exchange, known officially as "Cover Oregon," has become emblematic of the deeply unpopular Obamacare program.
"Cover Oregon is almost unmatched in its failure to deliver a working website," reported the Wall Street Journal on Monday.
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) announced earlier this month it would launch a probe into Oregon's failed Obamacare website. The roughly 146,000 Oregonians who have enrolled have had to do so through paper applications, and two thirds of those counted were enrolled in the state's Medicaid welfare program.

You're the man!
 
Sheesh, throw $5-10mm to a bunch of kids in Silicon Valley, and you'll get a website that not only works, but scales from the state to federal levels. Add another $10mm for hosting, and there you go. A working healthcare.gov.

And it'll be in a templated form, so while the underlying structure is of but 1 instance, each "site" would be sufficiently customized for each state based on GeoIP info of the visitor.

Politicians and bureaucrats seriously need to become reacquainted with the reality the rest of us live in/with...

If they had done it cost effective it would have deprived Michelle's former college friend the right to fleece us with their astronomical cost, non-working web site.
 
If you ever want to know what destruction looks like, you need to look no further than Obamacare. According to a new report, some insurance companies are set to triple their rates due to the burden placed on them by Obamacare. Super.

From The Hill:

Health industry officials say ObamaCare-related premiums will double in some parts of the country, countering claims recently made by the administration.

The expected rate hikes will be announced in the coming months amid an intense election year, when control of the Senate is up for grabs. The sticker shock would likely bolster the GOP’s prospects in November and hamper ObamaCare insurance enrollment efforts in 2015.

The industry complaints come less than a week after Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius sought to downplay concerns about rising premiums in the healthcare sector. She told lawmakers rates would increase in 2015 but grow more slowly than in the past.
“The increases are far less significant than what they were prior to the Affordable Care Act,” the secretary said in testimony before the House Ways and Means Committee....
 
We all know this was coming....

Idealism != reality

When it comes to it, businesses will always find a way around onerous regulation. The most direct way is to pass the costs on to the consumers.

The interesting thing that nobody seems to have picked up on is this - Obamacare was the gift that keeps on giving to the health insurance industry. Not only do they get to raise the monthly premium (heavily subsidized by the Feds, so it's an indirect tax on consumers via the Fed gov't), but they get to raise the deductible. So they get to keep more by paying out less.

Win! Win !! Win!!! for the health insurance industry... Let's hear it for the 47%-ers!
 
I just spoke with a MD friend of mine, and the things he told me blew the top of my head off! In addition, he, his partners, and a whole host of physicians have no doubt that the health care "system" will collapse in ten years or less under this nightmare. And this comes from a mild-mannered, non political guy. Just one example of many he gave: the "coding" will be increasing SIX times, meaning they'll have to hire NUMEROUS staff members just to decipher, and code correctly for each patient.

The republican plan is: Just go to the emergency room, the ER Fairy will pay for it.
