The Whole Sorry Story Behind the Cover Oregon Mess

"Oregon, a state of 4 million people at the forefront of “progressive” health reform, isn’t being touted by liberals these days as a model. That’s because Cover Oregon, its state-run health-care exchange, is the worst in the country, so bad that officials there may decide soon to unplug it and hook up to the faltering federal exchange."

So starts the National Review story by John Fund. This is the short version. 


 The long version was in The Oregonian and on Oregon Live this last Sunday. Gov.
Kitzhaber says he "wasn't in the loop." Really, the CEO of the State of Oregon? Remember Harry Truman, "The buck stops here!"? Apparently not with Gov. K. A $300M + national laughing stock of a program shows his management skills for the whole world to see - and guffaw at - and yet he has the temerity to run again for governor? Amazing! If the people of Oregon are so stupid as to elect him again, then we get what we deserve, e.g. - being the butt of national jokes for another four years. His legacy will live on.
