Oregon Health Exchange Yet To Complete One Enrollment… Things are so bad they are considering dumping their exchange (which cost more than any other state exchange) and using the slightly-less train wreck HealthCare.gov site. Via Free Beacon: Oregon will consider a switch to the federal health care exchange next year amid ongoing problems with its online enrollment program, Politico Pro reports: The state’s exchange, Cover Oregon, still cannot process an entire enrollment online — a problem that is not expected to be repaired until after the 2014 enrollment period ends in March. That has state officials weighing several options including scrapping its own enrollment system and moving to HealthCare.gov, the federal enrollment portal which is working better now after its own disastrous start. Switching to the federal site could be considered a significant political defeat for the state and Democratic Gov. John Kitzhaber, who strongly embraced the president’s health care law and is seeking reelection this year. weaselzippers.us

Koan, It is all of them combined---gheeesh. And all politicians combined want to control our lives. You prefer giving more control to politicians than to corporations (which is a false dilemma anyway) because you believe politicians at least answer to the people. So tell me, what happens when the people are bamboozled into giving politicians more power to curtail their own freedoms, all based on myths like "corporate control" and the so-called "one percent"? That's right, you get fascism. Tenchusatsu
