Yep, wholesale failure of Obamacare exchange in Hawaii.

Failure

It turns out that there wasn't enough volume present to justify operating an independent exchange, so Hawaii will now use healthcare.gov. This is likely due to the fact that Hawaii already has legislation requiring employers to provide health insurance coverage to anyone who works more than 20 hours per week for four consecutive weeks, hence a lessened need for an independent exchange.

What, exactly, is there to comment on here?

Learning from Obamacare's spectacular failures

So how hard can it be to build a website when you have access to vast grants of federal taxpayer dollars? Very, it turns out, when the website has to comply with and implement the thicket of rules and regulations in the Obamacare law.

Massachusetts, which had a perfectly functional health exchange built by then-Governor Romney for a total of about $3.5 million, received $225 million from federal taxpayers for "upgrades" that broke the site so badly its director broke down in tears.

Tiny Vermont got $200 million and built a site so bad that they may pull the plug later this summer. Minnesota is also considering shutting down; they got $189 million.

Hawaii's site is hemorrhaging cash, despite getting $205 million from the feds, and is likely to shut down if state legislators say no to an emergency $28 million bailout request.

Maryland's exchange wasted $190 million from federal taxpayers and another $20 million or so from state taxpayers on their first site before they gave up and started over on a different technology platform. They will likely request another big bailout from the governor this summer.

Republican governors in New Mexico and Nevada accepted $123 million and $101 million in federal funds with nothing to show for it; both states have shut down and moved into the federal exchange.

Even California, supposedly the "success story" among state exchanges, doesn't have much to show for a cost to federal taxpayers of precisely $1,065,683,056. Its 2015 goal was to boost enrollment by 500,000 people — it actually added just 7,098. Total enrollment has stalled at just 40 percent of potential. And the site has a miserable one-star Yelp rating. Not exactly the greatest results for a billion-dollar website.

Fact that all those federal dollars are pretty much flushed down the toilet never to return is the issue here. Waste, fraud, abuse.
