Wow, what a turn of events! Who would have expected that “Cover Oregon” (Oregon’s failed Obamacare exchange) with its expensive ‘psychadelic’ commercials would be under a federal criminal investigation only months later?
“The federal criminal investigation of Oregon’s health insurance exchange took a step into public view Tuesday when the U.S. Attorney’s office issued broad subpoenas seeking information from Cover Oregon and the Oregon Health Authority… The investigation, led by federal prosecutors and the FBI, is seeking documents, memos, and emails between the two state entities that oversaw the botched health exchange with U.S. authorities in charge of dispensing federal money for the project. Oregon has spent $250 million and three years on an ambitious IT project that failed to produce a fully functional exchange. Instead, what was produced was bug-ridden and largely unfinished, documents show… Among other things, the FBI seems to be interested in whether state officials misled their federal counterparts about progress on the exchange in order to get more federal funding.”
For old time’s sake, here is one of the ridiculous, bizarre commercials that liberals put on the air to convince the public that Obamacare is all sunshine and flowers:
What a great use of state/federal taxpayer dollars: Oregonian liberals want you to “Fly With Your Own Wings”! Who cares that Oregon’s health insurance exchange DOESN’T WORK?
