Obamacare obama with needleThe Oregon state insurance commissioner has rejected President Obama’s “fix” of the disastrous ObamaCare health care insurance overhaul. In a news conference yesterday, the president told insurance companies he would not charge them if they allow people to keep their old health insurance plans. Today, however, the logistical nightmare of starting over with the 140,000 Oregonians who have already lost their health plans appears to be more than the insurance commissioner can tackle at this point. Oregon is last in the nation for ObamaCare sign up, its Cover Oregon software a complete bust. (see post below).

In an already confusing time, “we think that adding more communication, different options, changing dates could possibly be confusing and actually I think make this more difficult,” [Insurance Commissioner Laura] Cali said.

Confusing is an understatement. Cover Oregon–OrBamaCare–officials are currently presiding over the worst rollout in the country. (see post below)
