PORTLAND, Ore. — Oregon, once expected to be a national leader in the federal health care overhaul, on Thursday moved to become the first state to dump its troubled online health exchange and use the federal marketplace instead.
That being said. Good. The whole Oregon exchange has been a debacle. We actually have until the 30th of this month to signup because of the massive failure of our exchange. The Oregon health exchange makes the Federal one look incredible. And given its initial problems that should tell you something.
Currently it is just the panel recommending that Oregon drop Cover Oregon and switch to the federal exchange program, so Oregon isn't actually dumping Obamacare, so your title is very misleading.

Good. One down, 49 more to go. It's good to see some people coming to their senses.
Bwahahahah
OK thats funny. Oregon actually likes the ACA quite a bit. In fact they like it so much that they want the feds to run our access to it since the company hired to do it failed to execute.
This isnt a anti-ACA or even a political thing, this is a business failing to execute.
Both the Oregon and Maryland exchange failures cost the US tax payers around 150 million each.
It's just an outrageous cost. Of course it's not going to count against the CBO budget when they calculate the how much the ACA will really run.
Same with the US healthcare.gov website that's currently around 600 million over budget.
It's just really poor management. They've had 3.5 years to prepare for the website. Than still try to make the excuse they couldn't do anything till after the Supreme Court decision in 2012. Baloney.
How much more are administrative costs NOT going to count against the ACA budget. Already the excluded around 10 billion for IRS agents as well.
