Oregon Signs Up Just 44 People For Obamacare Despite Spending $300 Million
cold fjord writes "The Washington Examiner reports, 'Oregon ... signed up just 44 people for insurance through November, despite spending more than $300 million on its state-based exchange. The state's exchange had the fewest sign-ups in the nation, according to a new report today by the Department of Health and Human Services. The weak number of sign-ups undercuts two major defenses of Obamacare from its supporters. One defense was that state-based exchanges were performing a lot better than the federal healthcare.gov website servicing 36 states. But Oregon's website problems have forced the state to rely on paper applications to sign up participants. Another defense of the Obama administration has attributed the troubled rollout of Obamacare to the obstruction of Republican governors who wanted to see the law fail as well as a lack of funding. But Oregon is a Democratic state that embraced Obamacare early and enthusiastically.'"
It makes perfect sense. It's like how after I got into a car crash while perfectly sober, I stopped following that "don't drink and drive" malarkey that's so popular these days.
What a pathetic day, when political trolling, with not even a hit of actual technical content, is published as as story on Slashdot. Isn't someone paid to moderate this stuff for substance and relevance?
Sucker.

One might wish to take a look at the political affiliation of the Oracle management.
One might wish to take a look at Oracle management, period. Hell, the only way that Oregon could have guaranteed a bigger screw up is if they had tried to code it in Lotus Notes.
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!
To not be so means you would be willing to share everything you have with anyone else at their leisure.
So unless you are willing to let me borrow free of charge your tooth brush, your car, your spare kidney, your house, your wife, or your 16 year old daughter you are a freaking, dyed in the wool.......capitalist.
They're doubling and tripling and quadrupling.
If you want to pretend the ACA had no role in that... then so be it... you can claim a duck is a banana as easily.
I've decided to stop wasting my time responding to AC trolls/sockpuppets... so if you want a response from me... login.
