发帖数: 29846 | 1 Oregon's "top information-technology official" is giving up on the state
running its own Obamacare insurance exchange, as Maryland has already done.
"Alex Pettit, the state's top information-technology official, will
recommend that Oregon move to the federal health insurance exchange,
according to a Powerpoint presentation distributed at this morning's meeting
of an advisory committee," the Oregonian's Nick Budnik reports.
The Oregon exchange "is the only insurance exchange in the country on which
people still cannot buy coverage entirely online," Politico observed at the
end of March, when the enrollment period ended.

State officials were still trying to find a silver lining, even at that late
date. “We’d like to have us have an operating website," interim executive
director Bruce Goldberg said. "But [305,000] people with health care in our
small state is pretty dramatic.”
Maryland has also given up on its own exchange, opting to take its cues from
Connecticut's technology. "The Health Exchange Board selected a partner
with a proven track record to upgrade our website using a platform that has
an established record of success,” Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley said. “We
're confident that this partner will have the website upgraded by the time
the next open enrollment period begins in November.”
The failures undermine the idea that Republican governors have thwarted the
Obamacare rollout. "Some of the worst-performing states (such as
Massachusetts, D.C., Oregon, Maryland and Washington) enthusiastically
embraced the law," the Washington Examiner's Phil Klein pointed out. "At the
same time, states with Republican governors such as Florida, North Carolina
and Wisconsin are among the states beating expectations." | a**e
