• Not a single Oregonian has been enrolled in Obamacare’s “Cover Oregon” website despite the spending over $82 million in tax dollars. Oregon was one of the first to start early on the website and was awarded the third largest federal grant to build the exchange, yet now it is among the worst in the nation.
• In total, the federal government has spent more than a half billion on this project. Some forecast using GAO estimates that may cost $2 billion to run the exchanges in 2014. Not only is the project expensive but it was built with several no-bid contracting. With no-bid contracting, you lose transparency and accountability which often results in flawed government projects where taxpayers pick up the bill.
