• Oregon has already paid out more than $1.1 million in legal fees in its fight against Oracle, the company that built the failed Cover Oregon health exchange, and the battle has only just begun.
• The state is suing even though it had full control and ignored numerous audit warnings. One former Cover Oregon official was awarded $70,000 to help sue the company.
• The case will likely cost Oregon taxpayers millions more and could last for years. Even if Oregon should win, state officials aren’t sure any money received would actually go to the state. (Oregonian 10-07-2014)
