The Obamacare mess continues.
Cover Oregon, the Obamacare health exchange for the state of Oregon, has spent $200 million on a website that still does not work.
In just three years, program officials spent $200 million of the $305 million they were given in federal money.
Rep. Jason Conger (R., Ore.) expressed his frustration: "So, we’ve already burned through $200 million. We’ve got just over $100 million left. Do we spend that money to continue to try to fix a website that so far has been a lot of promises but no results, or do we send that money back and we look at alternatives that might be more helpful to people that need health insurance?"
Conger sent a letter to Governor Kitzhaber, no stranger to Cover Oregon scandal, petitioning him to terminate the entire program, but has yet to receive a reply.
Sen. Ron Wyden (D., Ore.), was evasive when asked about the failed CoverOregon, only telling a reporter: "Obviously this has to be fixed, and it seems to me that all the state officials have acknowledged it."
