Ex-Head of Troubled Health Insurance Site May Sue, Citing 'Cover-Up'
itwbennett writes "Carolyn Lawson, the former CIO for Oregon's troubled health care insurance website, is alleging that state officials engaged in a 'substantial cover-up' meant to deflect blame away from themselves and onto herself and the project's contractor, Oracle. Lawson, who was forced to resign in December, this week filed a tort claim notice, which is a required precursor to filing a lawsuit against the state."
Claims are made that the state was the typical bad client, refusing to articulate "business requirements" effectively and repeatedly increasing the scope of the project. But then again Oracle was involved.
It's now apparent that Obama and the Democrats were lying when they said people could keep their insurance, lying when they said people could keep their doctors, lying when they said families would save $2,500 a year on their insurance, and lying when they said it would extend health care coverage to most of the uninsured (who are largely not signing up). Millions of people have lost their insurance or had huge hikes in their premiums.
The only people the law has been good for are insurance companies, Medicaid bureaucrats who get to expand their budgets, feminists who get to force taxpayers and Catholics to pay for their abortions and people paid to make those insulting "get covered" ads.
As far as I can tell, ObamaCare has not a single defender outside the ranks of Obama's defenders and the Democratic Party.
It's a horrific law that should be repealed in full.
