The ObamaTax Coast-to-Coast

Say what you will about the ObamaTax "fix" - no, wait, that's not right: don't say one word about it, unless it's "kudos," as the (now former) DC Insurance Commish has learned: "Commissioner William P. White was notified Friday ... that his services are no longer needed ... White issued a press statement Nov. 14 saying that the [ObamaFix] ... undercuts the purpose of the exchanges" Which is a rather roundabout way of observing that the Emperor has no clothes. Can't have that, of course. And FoIB Jeff M tips us that over on the Left Coast, the Beaver State's Exchange is, well, kind of a bust. And by "kind of," we mean "complete and utter failure:" "Oregon, a progressive state that has enthusiastically embraced the federal law but has so far failed to enroll a single person in coverage through the state's insurance exchange." As in zero, nada, zilch. And that's after multiple millions of taxpayer dollars sunk into a "Marketplace" that's neither a Market nor a place. But never fear, they've got that old "can do" attitude: "We're all surprised and frustrated that we're in the position that we're in now," said Jesse O'Brien, a health care advocate at the Oregon State Public Interest Research Group, which lobbied for the exchange." Or maybe not. Original content copyright © InsureBlog
