Wow - just do the math to see how much they spent in administrative overhead
to sign up half a million folks at a cost of 250 million - just to do the paperwork - :roll:



"Instead of signing up for health insurance in one sitting, Oregonians had to use a hybrid paper-online process that was costly and slow, and the state had to hire more than 400 workers to help them. Altogether, about $250 million in federal funds has been spent on Oregon's exchange, including technology development, salaries, advertising and rent.

Despite the exchange's technology woes, about 454,500 Oregonians have enrolled in coverage through Cover Oregon using the hybrid process. An estimated 97,000 of those enrolled in private health plans, while about 357,500 enrolled in the Oregon Health Plan, the state's version of Medicaid.

Earlier this year, the state decided to stop building the Oracle website and transition to the federally run enrollment website.

The FBI and the federal Government Accountability Office are also investigating Oregon's exchange problems."

But where is the transparency ???
Heck they won't even tell congress ! ! !




"By the close of Obamacare's first open enrollment in mid-April, the federal government was crowing about how many people had signed up via the HealthCare.gov insurance exchange that it operates.

But nearly four months later, the federal government remains mum on several key questions about that online marketplace, which sells coverage in 36 states, and was built with hundred of millions of dollars in taxpayer funds.

In sharp contrast to HealthCare.gov, the 15 health insurance exchanges run by individual states and the District of Columbia are, as a group, much more forthcoming with answers when asked those same kinds of questions.

The questions that the U.S. Health and Human Services Department wouldn't answer when asked by CNBC.com were:

The "paid rate," or how many HealthCare.gov enrollees actually paid for their insurance when they got their first month's bill, which is required for enrollment to be official;

A breakdown of how many people enrolled with each insurer on HealthCare.gov;

How many people have signed up after the close of open enrollment, during the so-called special enrollment period that allows people who have experienced events like divorce, marriage, a job loss or the birth of a child to buy insurance. HHS stopped doing monthly enrollment updates in May.

HHS also would not disclose the premium rates that insurers have proposed to charge for their 2015 plans, which go on sale at HealthCare.gov when Obamacare's second enrollment season begins Nov. 15."
