After blowing $250 million on its busted Obamacare website, the state of Oregon made a decision on Friday to dump its website and join the federal HealthCare.gov exchange. According to NPR, however, five of the 16 health insurance companies in Oregon lack the computer interface needed to function on the federal Obamacare website.
"So will they go to the expense of setting one up? Or will they stop doing business in Oregon? That's unclear," reports NPR.
In addition, the so-called "navigators" who were trained to enroll Oregonians on its broken Cover Oregon system must all now be retrained to sign people up on the federal Obamacare website.

Sorry about your brother. Oracle took $134 million to build the exchange and wants $78 million more to fix it.
I know the state is still considering suing Oracle for the exchange foul-ups but that doesn't help your brother who will have to start the whole process all over again if he needs the tax benefit of purchasing insurance through an exchange.

well...guess that's 70,000 more unhappy voters. Maybe Obama can get enough prisoners out of jail, in time for them to make up on the next elections.
He's running out of replacement voters....

So Cover Oregon's board made a choice on Friday. Instead of spending another $80 million dollars to try and fix its troubled website, it would sign up with the feds for about $5 million and be assured of a working system.
