$1.2 Billion: The Cost of Obamacare’s Failed State Exchanges

Obamacare’s Failed State Exchanges – Reason.com. That would include:

  • Oregon ($303 million)
  • Maryland ($157.2 million)
  • Massachusetts ($135.6 million)
  • Vermont ($153.7 million)
  • Nevada  ($83.7 million)
  • Hawaii ($205 million)

That’s 50% of the state exchanges and $1.2 billion invested in the these failed websites. Geez, what a stroke of genius that most states decided against building their own exchange.

Colorado has it’s own exchange Connect for Health Colorado. It functions adequately but has many issues that an occassiounal user most likely wouldn’t notice or wouldn’t find irritating. However, if there are issues outside that place you outside the “norm” or their or problems with the Medicaid portion of the process, you quickly begin to see the weak underbelly.
